Text: Exodus 7:13-17; Phil. 1:6; Psalm 73:12-20 Listen as Dean Self brings us a message about the will of the Lord. God will 1) Cause things to happen or 2) Allow things to happen. While man has responsibility ( see the example of Adam and Eve in the garden) we should never think that our choices will change or determine God's will (Phil. 1:6) Examples: 1) Jonah - when we are out of God's will we have to "pick up the tab". 2) Joseph - While his brothers meant it for evil God meant it for good. 3) Pharaoh - He did not trust in the Lord and look at what happened! If you harden your heart God will "super-size" it, but if you trust in the Lord then he will "tenderize" it. |
