Trusting God When The Wells Are Dry (Famines, Deserts And Other Hard Places)
September 8, 2019
When God wants to deepen our spiritual maturity, He sometimes takes away all the comforts we’ve become used to. Some of us move out of state, where a new job falls apart. Some of us are told that we have only months or weeks to live. It’s possible for God to lead His people into the wilderness for their greater good and His greater glory. That’s what happened to Abraham.

If the Lord brought a revival of repentance to a city, most of God’s people would rejoice. But not Jonah. He felt double-crossed. God withheld the judgment Jonah had prophesied against Nineveh. God was teaching a lesson to a man who still rebelled even after surviving a fish’s belly.

Some believers will only obey God after He teaches them a lesson the hard way. Jonah finally went to Nineveh, a little worse for wear, after three days inside a fish.

Ask a farmer and he’ll tell you that mules can be stubborn. But none of God’s creation is as stubborn as mankind. Amazingly, even redeemed men and women try to resist His will. In this message we meet a prophet of God who was as stubborn as a mule.

Farmers know it’s really pretty simple: no seeds, no plants. No plants, no harvest. God set the laws of sowing and reaping in motion a long time ago.

Wise money managers know the term ROI: return on investment—the bottom line when putting resources at risk. Christians have bank accounts on earth, but also accounts in heaven. They lay up treasures “where moth and rust do not corrupt.” In this message we’ll learn why investments in things eternal bear a return we cannot even imagine.

When a wealthy benefactor gives a few million dollars to a college, it’s always big news. But no one seems to notice a poor person giving a quarter to someone else in need. That is, no one but Jesus. His keen eye saw a lady entering the temple courts one day in Jerusalem. Will God ever commend you, like this woman, for giving all you have?

During financial hardship, it’s tempting to give less to God’s work. Many whose jobs are in jeopardy are burdened with debt at the same time. So, what should we do? In this message we learn how to honor the Lord no matter how empty our wallets are! The key is to realize that our use of money is one way in which we worship God.

It seems the world is reeling from crisis to crisis: Middle East turmoil, rising prices, and nation after nation facing insurmountable debt. Civil unrest is rampant. Meanwhile, politicians make promises they can never keep. All of these things can create a climate of fear in our lives.
