I believe what God wants us to take away this morning is that He is at Work.
So how do we recognize the signs? How do we see that God is at work? In what ways is God at work?
Today we are going to look at 3 ways God is at work in our church and in our lives
1. First we see that God has a plan. If you want to want to see God at work then you need to recognize that He has a plan for your life.
2. Not only must we recognize God's Plan, we must also Rest in His Peace.
3. Finally, we see the Blessings that come from God in v. 3. We will see this open up in the next few sermons.
Conclusion: Hetty Green was known as America's greatest miser. She managed an inherited fortune so shrewdly that she was also considered the greatest woman financier in the world. In 1916 she died leaving an estate that was worth nearly 100 million dollars. Yet she would eat cold oatmeal because she didn't want to spend the money to heat the water. Her son eventually lost his leg from a relatively minor injury because she took him to a number of free medical clinics instead of calling for a doctor.
(Her life is recounted in Hetty Green: A Woman Who Love Money by Boyden Sparkes [N.Y.
Doubleday, 1930].) Hetty Green had tremendous resources but didn't make use of them.
Make use of God's resources. The Peace, the Rest, and the many Blessings.
God is at Work. Don't speed through this zone missing what God is doing. Look around and recognize God's plan. Rest in His Peace and render to Him Praise for the Blessings He provides because He is a good and wonderful God.
