Don’t worry about what happens around you.
- Always be a question about the one sending you.
He was questioning David’s father – Jesse
You’ll be questioned about your God.
They want to know about your God
They will question the direction for your life.
The ones you help the most stick it to you the most.
Somebody will always question you on “why?”
- Always be a question about your service.
He’s worried about what you’re doing.
Just do what God has called you to do the best that you can.
This will make you bitter or make you better, one or the other. The result is left up to you.
Stay around Eliab’s in your life and you won’t fight any giants.
Don’t worry about service just do what you are supposed to do.
Eliab’s have all the right answers, but they question everything you do.
- Always question your spirit.
Know what your spirit is like or at least they think they do anyway.
Will question why you do what you do.
- Always be a question about your sight.
You have a vision beyond you if you’re in the battle.
There needs to be a vision for your life in the battles that you face.
Only way to stay in the job that God has for you is to have the vision of God in your life.
Your vision changes and you need to have your vision checked regularly by God.
Find people that are like you; that have the same vision as you so that you can be encouraged and stay in the battle and keep doing the job God has called you to.
There is strength in numbers and there is strength in encouragement from others.
“You have a good heart, but you never let Me use it.” Don’t let that statement be said by God about you.
