'A MIND TO GROW" - PSALM 119 - PART 4

 "A MIND TO GROW" PART 4 PSALM 119 Pastor Vincent B. Ligon Sunday, August 9th, 2020 INTRODUCTION Today, we are closing out our series entitled "A MIND TO GROW. This is Part 4 in our series. I. Ten things this passage does NOT say 1. I need things outside of the Lord. 2. All that He has given me should not earn my obedience to Him. 3. God is satisfied with my half-hearted seeking of Him. 4. His word is ungracious, or his character is ever anything but gracious. 5. When I see that my ways are not in line with Scripture, there is no need to change. 6. As long as I obey eventually, or have good intentions, it's okay. 7. When trials come and the enemy attacks, I should turn to my own methods. 8. It's okay for worry and fear to dominate my night time hours. 9. I should be unified with those who follow the ways of the world. 10. It is hard to see God's lovingkindness here on the earth, it is so rare. II. What does this passage teach me about God? A. B. C. D. E. F. G. Because I realize what an amazing part I have in the Lord's riches, I should strive to keep His word. His favor is the most important thing to me. When I see how my actions do not line up with His word, I should correct them. Nothing is more important to do than keep His commandments, and I should obey quickly. Even though my enemy tries to trap me, I will not turn to my own methods and forget God's. NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION, COME TO JESUS NOW!
