NP+ 246 Moses: Learning to Wait on God

that would be my encouragement to a lot of people and to remember because I think some people get wrapped up in, well, like, oh, my friend is so, like, wants to tie in that. Like, yes, you can talk to them. You're planting seeds. That's great. You don't know what God's gonna do yet, but you you're not the one that's gonna save them. Like, you are not saving them. You maybe you're helping them, talk them along, but, it's not up to us. So so In fact, maybe, for that person's life, god is only gonna have you plant a seed, and but somebody else is gonna come in the water. Somebody else is gonna do the harvest. Right. But you just be faithful in planting that seed Yeah. And let god take care of the rest. Yeah. Pressure's off of you. Mhmm. [00:23:44] (38 seconds)

Now there's evidence for it, evidence of the resurrection, evidence of God. I mean, Romans one says, look at creation. There's enough evidence to believe in God. Mhmm. But it there's a faith involved. That's why it's called the faith. It's not scientific knowledge. There's faith. And I think we'll always have questions. Years ago, I have a cousin who's a doctor now, but he went to University of Illinois in med school, and he he called my dad and said, uncle John, man, my professors are really, really evolutionist, and they're really attacking my faith. And I have a whole series of questions I wanna ask you about this. And dad said, Steve, don't go down that road. And he goes, what? He goes, you will always have questions. [00:15:30] (52 seconds)

you will always have questions. I can answer this list of questions or a 100 questions, but you'll always have questions. What you have to do is you draw the line in the sand and say, this is what I believe. This is what I believe and that's faith. You have enough evidence to believe. I'm not saying just blind faith. Right. There's evidence to believe, but you have to draw a line in the sand and say, this I believe. And Steve told me he was so mad at my dad because he didn't he wanted to have the answers so he could refute his professors. My dad, very smart dude, and he's editor of a editor in chief of a publishing Christian publishing house. So, anyway, he thought he could get the answers. And and dad, don't go down that road Mhmm. Because there's no end to it. And and if you're gonna base your faith on the answers you think you're gonna get, you're gonna always have questions. [00:16:19] (55 seconds)

And then he finally realizes through forty years of just thinking, you know, and he's 80 years old now. That's another thing. So listen. I've talked to Rell and these sheep for forty years. You know? So I think that was his opinion of himself Yeah. That I'm slow to speak or or not slow to speak, but I'm I'm slow of speech Yep. And and and action. Why me? I think what he was really saying to God is, why now? Mhmm. I was ready. Yeah. Yeah. In the prime of my life, 40 years old. I was ready. You knew my heart. I wanted to do this for your people, and you left me hanging, God. Mhmm. I think that's really what the message is. You left me hanging. Yeah. I stuck my neck out. And what did you do? Nothing. I had to run away to Midian, [00:08:47] (52 seconds)
