• No recorded example of faith taken from the forty years that Israel journeyed from Egypt to Jericho. • The record from silence should be that NO FAITH was demonstrated, so we should not pattern our lives after the children of Israel that lived and died in the wilderness. • God was purging and perfecting the nation of Israel and was using the trip to Canaan to perf`ect them. • Every part of our lives is purposes by God for His glory and for our maturing and building. He builds us into what we will be. • Faith in God always does the will of God for the purpose of God. • God always chooses the flawed person and saves and sanctifies that person and then uses that person. • Peter often gets criticized for not keeping his eyes on Christ while walking on the water. However, most folks forget the faith he had just to STEP OUT of the boat! • Faith is always obedient, and steps out against logic to do the will of God. • Faith believes God and obeys God. It does not lie dormant, but instead steps out in action. • If God took can take a prostitute and turn her and work her for His purpose, what could He do with me? I want to be in a place where God can turn me and use me in such a way for His glory. • God never adds gloss to the sin of people that He has used. It's all there, and yet God has used them and changed them for His glory. • Don't indict yourself where God has forgiven you. • Our first steps are always baby steps. • The biblical pattern is that God uses time and circumstances to purge and prepare His servants so that they are ready to be used for His purpose.
