Lies People Believe
I Did It My Way
Proverbs 3:5-10

But, when it comes to the more serious decisions of life, if we insist on doing things our way, it can get real dangerous…real quick.

It’s an impressive song about facing life’s difficulties…and triumphing over the challenges — I Did It My Way!

It’s no longer going to be your will that guides you…but God’s.

But when churchgoers do this (when they insist on doing things their way), they don’t think of it defying God.

If Jesus is not the Lord of your life — somebody’s got to be.

Nothing he had done compared to what Jesus had done…for him.

Lies People Believe
God Doesn’t Understand Me
Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 6:19-21

They don’t feel they can get close to Him. God seems distant and uncaring.

We wish God would…just do something! But when we can’t see Him do that something, many people struggle in their faith.

So, Joseph was still a slave, but at least God blessed him while he was there. I mean…it could be worse.

In the midst of his suffering, Joseph decided to focus on that “Truth.”
And that “truth” was that God would always be there for him.

And the first lie is that God doesn’t care. That He’s not there. And that He just doesn’t understand us.

We live in a fallen world where the things we cling to fail us. And that’s why Jesus said “In this world you will have trouble.”

She got to the point where she knew God was always near her and that He would never leave her or forsake her.
