A Radical Thought Rick Lancaster

Wrestling with God is a foolish exercise practiced by the immature.

God is not limited to working with His people to accomplish His will. He is sovereign and that also means King David was a great man of God, but he wasn’t a perfect man. In this psalm David, David confesses that he had been trying to hide his sins from omniscient God. He “finally’ realized that he had been wrestling with God and made a decision to stop. That’s a good idea.

God can operate through unbelievers just as easily as He can through believers.

God is not limited to working with His people to accomplish His will. He is sovereign and that also means He can exert control over unbelievers. There are some in the church who believe we should only accept help from believers. Just as God worked through Cyrus, God can work through unbelievers around you to accomplish His will for your life. We need to keep our eyes open to where and how God is working, even through the most unlikely channels.

Our mistakes should bother us because they are against God not because it costs us money, time, prestige, or position.

Mistakes will cost something. If you drive too fast and get a ticket, it will cost you. All mistakes have some kind of cost – often it is small – sometimes it is not! In this brief message, we are encouraged not to focus on the cost as much as on our relationship with God.

It is a thing of wonder that our cries and prayers actually are heard by God.

Prayer is an exercise of faith! We can’t see the Person we are praying to. We don’t get audible feedback regarding our prayers. And sometimes it seems that they are not being heard at all. But God does hear our prayers and He answers them – every one!

Opposition may change your circumstances, but it doesn’t change what God told you to do.

It is naïve to believe that you will be able to do God’s work without opposition. If you attempt to do something great for God, you should expect great opposition. How should you respond when the work of God gets hard?

It takes great courage to resist the temptation to compromise.

The story of Lot is both tragic and instructive. He is a man who is given every opportunity to succeed and appears to do just that, but then everything goes terribly wrong. We all need to learn from the life of Lot so that we don’t end up in the same place.
