<div class="SSN_title">"FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. GOD HAS A MASTER PLAN FOR EACH OF US.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. What so often seems to be happenstance is God's overruling hand.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The annoying inconvenience could be divine providence.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. You start off from your house and suddenly you realize you forgot your wallet.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Don't curse your absent mindedness.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Perhaps God is sparing your life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The two girls with flat tire.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. If you are a child of God I don't believe in chance or luck.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Wasn't Esther lucky to be chosen queen?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. No, it was God's work.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. God knew the evil of Haman's heart.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. "The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. This gives me great comfort.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Someone much smarter that I is running my life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. We should expect disruptions.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. God so often uses them to get our attention.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Or to slow us down or alter our path.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The man who is never disturbed is the man who is always expecting to be disturbed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. IF WE FAIL GOD, HIS PLAN WILL NOT FAIL.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. That which God has purposed He will do.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. God would not allow all the Jews to be killed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He must preserve them for His purposes.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Esther has the opportunity of being the instrument that God uses for His work.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. This always excites me. God wants to do a work. God is going to do a work.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I have the privilege of being His instrument through which He does it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. I look at God's glorious work here at Calvary.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. I wonder how many there were before me to whom God gave the opportunity.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Had I failed, who would God have chosen.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. I am certain that I was not the most qualified, just the most available.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. IF WE FAIL WE LOSE THE BLESSING AND THE REWARD.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. God is going to work.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. I can be the instrument through which He works.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. If I am the instrument then He rewards me for the work He did as though I did it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. You can know the blessing and joy of being an instrument in the hand of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. It is so exciting to watch God do His work through your life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The life of full commitment has to be the most peaceful in the world.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The success or failure of a task is not my responsibility.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. I am not disturbed by disruptions.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. I look forward to His rewards to me as a faithful servant.</div>
