4. Because of His grace God does not…
I. Grow tired.
A. Promise (Isa. 40:28).
B. Problem. We put a lot of things on God. We put what we have into His hands. We expect a lot from Him. Yes, He did ask for it (1 Chron. 16:11).
C. Praise God. He does not grow tired-others do (Isa. 40:30). He has great patience (1 Pet. 3:20; 2 Pet. 3:9). He gives strength (Isa. 40:31).
II. Take a job that He can not complete.
A. Promise (Jer. 32:17).
B. Problem: Man puts limits upon God.
C. Praise God for what he is able to do (Jude 24; Eph. 3:20; 2 Cor. 9:8; Heb. 7:25).
III. Break a promise.
A. Promise: (Ps. 89:34).
B. Problem: We feel God is not always present.
C. Praise God: God has promised us. His promises are sure (Rom. 4:21). He has made promises that he has kept (Noah>ark, David, etc.), is keeping (1 Cor. 10:13; Isa. 58:11; Heb. 13:5, 6; 2 Cor. 1:3, 4; 1 Jn. 5:14). There are promises he will keep (Heb. 11:19; Ja. 1:12).
IV. Abandon anyone.
A. Promise: (Dt. 31:6).
B. Problem: We do not always act like we should. How would we react? Ramifications if He does.
C. Praise God: He is faithful (1 Sam. 12:22; 1 Thes. 5:24; 2 Cor. 4:8f.).
