USING THE PAST TO HELP YOU IN THE PRESENT
9/22/2024-Morning Worship
Text: Psalm 77
Theme: Past victories help with current struggles.
While some of us look at our first responders and think what a glamorous, heroic life; I am sure they could fill hours with stories of heartaches. What is God’s answer for the heartaches?
We are taught that it’s not good to look back, but that isn’t always true
I. Your present struggle (vv. 1-4, 7-10)
Let’s look at the background from what Asaph writes,
This holy man of God even as he spake (2 Pet 1:21) shares his heart… the struggle of his spirit
First responders we are so grateful for you, but we know at times you must lose sleep, etc Does Christianity OR better yet, does GOD have an answer for you?
II. Your “past” solution to the struggle (vv. 5-12)
So what does Asaph do to combat the struggle?
Like David did when he went up against Goliath and looked back to the lion and the bear…
You might say, But I don’t have a relationship with God!
Read God’s Word – start w/ John
Read the Psalms and look at the examples of others
