“YOU ALONE ARE GOD!

2 Samuel 22:32-34

Intr.:

Only

1.  you are a mighty rock.

2.  You are my strong fortress, and

3.  you set me free.

4.  You make my feet run as fast as those of a deer, and

5.  you help me stand on the mountains.”

End:

VERSES FROM THE BIBLE IN THE LOCAL PAPER

An ocean steamer has a gyroscope to help stabilize the ship, when the sea is rough. A gyroscope helps the vessel also to maintain a high degree of equilibrium.

GYROSCOPE

Don’t you think it would be a good Idea to have a gyroscope inside us to keep us on an even keel? I think so.

I don’t need to tell you about the storms of life. You probably know them better than I do.

There are the waves of discouragement.

Someone said, “You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.”

There are the waves of bad habits.

“The best way to break a habit is to drop it.”

There are the waves of worry.

Remember, “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.”

There are the waves of hurts.

Someone said, “Facing your hurts won’t kill you; burying them may!”

Add to the list the waves of sorrow, suffering, temptation and testing – and at the end you have to face the typhoon of death.

When the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts our souls will be kept on an even keel, our souls will be kept in perfect peace and we will be able to live a stable life.

I saw that once happening in Bangkok / Thailand.

First of all I thought, “no that can’t be him,” but it was the missionary whose wife had just died in a traffic accident, walking upright not very far from me.

What a testimony!
