Scripture: Judges 11:12-13
Speaker: Jeff Hill
What do you do so that God does what you want? The human tendency is to think we know what is best. Now we need to convince God so he makes it happen. When he doesn’t, God gets blamed for not being caring nor loving. Unfortunately, how we define what is best rests heavily on what I think is best for me and those closest to me. This limited perspective obscures what may be best for the greater good. Uh oh, then this may mean that which is good may actually come at an expense. We tend not to like that so much. We just may have to give more, for the sake of the greater good, than we receive. If this is true, the big question is “will you still follow through”?
