Faith pt 3 2-3-09

When we have faith....
Psalm 18:1-2 (New International Version)

Psalm 18
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation, my stronghold.


Satan will try to shake us up and knock us down. But when we have faith and grow in God the result is we can take cover in God who will protect us. Not only defeating Satan but aslo you get another ultimate prize.

Isnt that cool you get two prizes for just 1 battle. 1st you get protection and you dont do that sin satan was tempting you with. Second you get growth.
If you surive and trusted God to help you survie that temptation. You just get another inch in faith and got more trust in God.

Which will help you in the near future when even harder trials come. All these small test is only to help you grow. So when those big test comes you are able to wipe em out easily. Just like the verese says God is our stronghold but we got to let Him protect us.

What if instead of taking cover we sin. Well then you still win. Sure you just sin thats pretty bad. But on the other hand if you sin and repent and just spend some time talking to God chances are your faith is going to grow alot more.

THIS DOES NOT GIVE YOU RIGHTS TO SIN. but when you do sin dont look to hard down on yourself get back up so you can continue fighting for God and growing in Him

Challenge:
When sin comes where do you go!?
