There your ancestors tested and tried my patience,
even though they saw my miracles for forty years. Hebrews 3:9 NLT
The Israelites were surrounded by the miraculous for 40 years; there was
  • the manna from Heaven, daily, enough to feed all the Israelites
  • the quail
  • the water from the rock
  • and the fact that there clothes NEVER wore out!

Can you imagine seeing the miraculous EVERY DAY in your life for 40 years! Sounds amazing right? The problem was that it became common-place for them. God providing for their needs became expected and eventually unappreciated.

They had tested God’s patience, they had tried Him, and found that He was faithful in that He would provide for them supernaturally, proving His faithfulness to them daily for 40 years! Over and over they experienced the faithfulness of God until it became mundane. God called it “hard-hearted” in verse 8.

Have you allowed for the miraculous in your life become common, mundane, and unappreciated? Perhaps it’s time to step away from your busy-ness, recognize what He’s been doing in your life, and tell Him that He is awesome! Be sure to tell others too, because your testimony could awake them from their hard-hearted attitude and bring them to a place of gratitude and praise!

What miracles are going on all around you right now? He’s a faithful God. He’s been tested, tried and proven!

Anxiety in the heart of a man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad. Proverbs 12:25

Are we causing anxiety in others with our complaints, uncertainty, or criticisms? How easy it is for us to defeat this work of the enemy of our souls by speaking good words to others!

Did you notice the result of unchecked anxiety? The result is depression. When anxiety is allowed to run its ugly course in our minds we become fatigued, but the remedy is so simple, a good word.

Obviously if someone is clinically ill they should pursue treatment, but doesn’t that make the words which we choose to speakĀ all the more important, we mustĀ guard our words – they have power!

What if our complaint, uncertainty, or criticism is that word which increases anxiety in someone’s life or brings someone to point of depression?

I challenge myself and anyone who would join me to speak words of life to everyone you meet today! Let’s make a change in someone’s life today!Sermon-Title-Speak-Life
