Living for an Audience of One
by Ron Bennett
a question for ya: what will ure legacy be?
David had a goal:to please an audience of one....which is God. he was after God's heart.he was FAITHFUL and FOCUSED.
Soloman's goal: after God's head, to please man.
Besides, David SERVED WITHOUT QUESTIONS.that we should learn.
FAITH REQUIRES PATIENCE:
2 Tim 2:2
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
Be faithful and bloom where you are planted. BE FAITHFUL IN THE SMALL/LITTLE/HIDDEN THINGS. and be flexible cause God hardly directs in a straight line. Allow God to USE you and don't put ure confidence in circumstances but in God.
Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.
FAITH REQUIRES PERSPECTIVE:
Be confident.rmb:
Big God- small giants
Small God- Big giants.
have confidence in God. and also be prepared as opportunities will surprise you.
when God reveals his miracles, pass them tot he generation, so that they may noe what God has done....
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
FAITH REQUIRES SUBMISSION:
Be calm; do what is right and leave the results to God. even if we are unjustly accused, don't defend ourselves. Be supportive; serve wholeheartedly even when you disagree.
1 Peter 2:18
and,
"A stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
Main point:
there's no limit to what God can do.
to live, not to please man but the audience of one,God, by keeping focus on HIM.
Praise God. so much things i've learnt.
