Summary

In this special Friday Bible study time together, we are hitting 2 topics in 1 devotional!

STOP MAKING THIS ABOUT YOU

The more you lead a self-focused life, the more you’re prone to discouragement. Every time you forget that it’s not about you, you’re going to get prideful or fearful or bitter. Those feelings will always lead to discouragement because they keep you focused on yourself. (Rick Warren)

Luke 14:33, Jesus said, “You cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.”

You’re being selfish with your feelings.

Much of your frustration is coming from trying to give God good ideas about how to fix this.

Isaiah 55:9 “For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”

Just release it and instead pray, “God, shift my heart about this.”

GOD DIDN’T CAUSE IT, BUT HE CAN WORK IN IT

John 7:17, “Anyone who chooses to do the will of God” – which means anyone can also choose NOT to do God’s will. Outside of God’s will, you are not covered. You are living in disobedience. You are vulnerable and you are in danger.

Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Ephesians 6:16, “Hold up your shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.” – Yes, the devil aims fiery arrows at YOU. Those are not from God.

You don’t have to make friends with sin, evil and destruction. You don’t have to co-sign. THIS DOESN’T BELONG TO GOD. However, what does belong to God is YOUR FUTURE when you surrender it to him.

Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”

Matthew 6:34 MSG “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.”
