Keep Watching

Big Idea: "Keep Watching, God is Not Through with Me Yet"

When you understand it's God who chooses who he shines his face upon. You stop getting mad at other people for being in places that you don't think they deserve to be in.

• It's a foolish person who gets mad because we think we are more talented.
• This is because we measure what we see, not what we don't see.
• Just because we don't have the right words doesn't mean that God doesn't have the right strategy for it.
• Sometimes we are so focused on being right that we use language that is familiar.
• You can't send your kids places you're unwilling to model for them.
• Revival is important to clarify areas within our lives.
• Convenience can kill.
• Too often we reach for tools of convenience and leave the tools for the assignment.

In the text they are outside the gates because they are unwilling to have a conversation with someone different than them.

• We tend to build castles of separation.
• We don't owe people pity we owe them compassion.

You need to ask questions.

• Do not do what people tell you to do, do what God tells you to do.

The Arameans were not fond of the Israelites.

• It's better to march in faith knowing that you may fail instead of playing safe
• When they got to the camp they found provision.
• God will put you in a position to see what your faith looks like.
• We often get blessed and forget how God can use us to bless others.
