Give God a Chance

2 Kings 7:6 - For the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us!”

God knows how much we can bear

God has access to unlimited resources

God is always on time

Get Right with God

2 Kings 20:1 -  In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”

Your soul is being weighed in the balances

It’s later than you think

Now is the appropriate time

I Cannot Come Down

Nehemiah 6:3 - so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?”

Nehemiah chose not to come down because:

He had attached himself to a divine cause

He knew the deceptive plans of his enemies

He knew the divine reward for faithfulness

For Such a Time as This

Esther 4:14 - For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?”

It is now time for us to:

Take part in God’s master plan

Take a stand for righteousness

Prepare for a glorious future
