GOD…THIS WOULDN’T BE TOUGH! GOD…THESE PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT NEED YOUR HELP! IF I WERE YOU…I’D DO THIS IN A HEARTBEAT! Main Thought: A WAITING SEASON IS NOT A WASTED SEASON. John 11:1-4 John 11:17 John 11:20-22 WHEN WAITING ON GOD REMEMBER: 1) GOD’S DELAYS ARE NOT NECESSARILY GOD’S DENIALS. 2) IF GOD ALWAYS MET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, HE’D NEVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXCEED THEM. John 11:23-26 John 11:34-35 John 11:43-44 With God—Waiting Season Is Never A Wasted Season. “THE SCENE OF YOUR GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT MAY BE THE SETTING OF YOUR GREATEST MIRACLE.” WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH… 1. Be Still Psalm 46:10 Joshua 1:9 2. Maintain Perspective We Must Remember: - TOUGH TIMES are part of life. - TOUGH TIMES can be our own fault. - God uses TOUGH TIMES in our lives. Romans 8:28
