Speak Lord

God gives us the gift of each moment. We struggle to receive these gifts in the moments they are given in. Ecclesiastes has some wisdom for how to better engage in each moment that God gives. This episode is all about that!

Ecclesiastes 2:24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God. 

The book of Ecclesiastes has some depressing things to say.  It gives quite a list of pursuits in life that are meaningless. This depressing list is good for us to consider because it highlights many of the ways we attempt (and fail) to find the beauty in each moment. Consider the list. Stop looking in those places. Start seeing the beauty that God gives in each moment. 

God gives a beauty to each moment that is only available in that moment. It can't be accessed in anticipation or hindsight. But so often we miss it. This is the first of three episodes exploring Ecclesiastes 3:11, "He makes everything beautiful in its time."

Who are you pleasing?
Who or what is most pleasing to you?

These are the two big questions. The answers to these questions fundamentally shape your life.

The Bible teaches that grace is a free gift. It also teaches that there is a cost to following Jesus. What's up with that?

“We come all the way to Alaska not to raise funds. We just want to come to Alaska to raise awareness so we all know what kind of God we serve!” Ramon Tengkano

Ramon and Shandy have been “experimenting with Jesus“ for the past twelve years. They have given up their wealth to the fully surrendered service of Jesus. Their story is another reminder that faith is the only thing that can cast out fear and that a relationship with Jesus is the only thing that satisfies the soul.

If you could ask God for anything and get it, what would you ask for? Have you asked? 

This episode was originally shared on the Palmer SDA Church Podcast. https://palmersdachurch.podbean.com/?s=try%20asking%20god

Wouldn’t it be nice if God would reveal himself in the light and speak in a loud voice? Notice how God speaks to us in Matthew 10:27, “What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.”

God speaks in the dark and in a whisper. We don’t have anything to say in the light unless we have heard from God in the dark. We don’t have a message to proclaim on the housetops unless we have heard the whisper of God. 

If you are in a dark place, listen for what God has to tell you. If you only hear his voice in a low whisper, cherish that whisper.
