1 SAMUEL 23
Pastor Rick Jackson
Remember if we got from God what
was fair we would all be in the lake of Fire.
I. THE STRONG
CHRISTIAN [v. 1-5]
1. Desires to do Right [v. 1-2]
just because something sounds good doesn’t mean it’s God’s
will- Paul’s 2nd missionary journey, giving all your money to the
Red Cross]
2. Seeks God’s Will [v. 2b-4]
1 Corinthians 4:19 But I will come
to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which
are puffed up, but the power.
1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound
by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at
liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 16:7 For I will not
see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while ° with you, if the Lord
permit.
James 4:15 For that ye ought to say,
If the Lord will °, we shall live, and do this, or that.
3. Does the Will of God [v. 5] note how God provided their
needs a la Mt. 6:33
II. THE WEAKNESS OF
THE NATURAL MAN & THE CARNAL CHRISTIAN [v. 6-13]
1. Men are Full of Mischief [v. 6-9]
2. God is Full of Knowledge [v. 10-12]
3. The Godly Man Must Seek God’s Wisdom [v. 13, James
3:13-18]
III. THE FAITHFULNESS
OF GOD [v. 14-29, 1 Peter 4:19]
Wherefore let them that suffer
according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well
doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
1. A Seen in Daily Mercies [v. 14, Lamentations 3:22-23,
31ff.]
2. As Seen in Godly Friends [v. 15-18, Proverbs 27:6]
Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
3. As Seen in the Deliverance of God [v. 19-29] Note- did
the Philistines attack because of David’s defense of Keilah?
