Being Perfected (Psalm 138:1-8)
Roger Thrower, April 26, 2015Part of the Life in the Spirit Series series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
1. Know that God will work in you through what you go through.
* The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. Ps 138:8
* Romans 8: 26-39
2. Be humble, steadfast, and prayerful.
* Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:6-10
3. Be the blessing you want to receive.
* If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. Isaiah 1:19
* But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. Jeremiah 29:7
