033 How To Apply Faith Part 6

Pastor Waid discusses how we got in to doubt. Disappointments come from a collision between our expectations and experiences and ignoring the signposts of God's promises. This collision results in either a life wrecked by self-pity and resentment or one that can lead to triumph. The choice is ours and the key to it all is where and to whom we look for our hope! This is about our circumstances and how we look at our Lord. How we see adversity and His sovereignty will totally affect how we learn and deal with it

What You Will Hear

• We experience doubt when we do not exercise our faith
  
• Our unanchored stress and disappointment, along with detachment from looking to God will take us away from seeing His signposts of precepts.
  
• Without struggle, there is no growth, no real impacting faith, honest character, genuine patience, or maturity.
  
• How our decisions affect others and how they are relational and beneficial to others and God's glory
  
• Instability
  
• The importance of learning that our hope is in the Lord, not in our expectations.
  

Quotes

• “To grow, we have to struggle and work it out.”
  
• “When we do not rely on God, we are really neglecting ourselves.”
  
• “If we do not seek wisdom, but remain in our own thinking, we will be untethered like a
  

small boat without an anchor in a storm, tossed and tumbled in the waves of stress and life.”
