Things to Know for Times of Trouble

Judges Chapters 6 and 7

 

During times of trouble we need to know that:

  1. God understands the real problem – 6:1-10
  • How many times do we find ourselves in a situation where we really do not see what got us into the situation, or we knew why but did not want to admit it.
  • In order to fix a problem, we need to know what the real problem is.

 

  1. God knows your capabilities – 6:11-16
  • When we get into difficult situations, we forget that God knows what we can and cannot do.
  • No matter how small, insignificant, young, or how old you are, God can use you for great things!

 

  • God will lead you through some tough actions – 6:25-32
  • When we have issues in our lives that need attention, there are times that God will lead us to do some tough things, to make some tough choices.

 

  1. God will give you the confidence you need – 6:36-40
  • When we are called to do some drastic things, God will give us the confidence we need to accomplish the task at hand.

 

  1. God expects total dependance on Him – 7:1-14
  • How many times has God bailed you out of something or helped you in a time of need only for you to take the credit and forget what God has done for you?

 

  1. The battle belongs to the Lord – 7:15-22
  • How many times have we tried to go out to battle on our own?
  • When we are having trouble in our lives, know that God is with you.
  • Do not wait until all seems lost to go to God. Start with Him!
