God's Tools

I have been preaching on the life of David Sunday nights. This is last Sunday night's outline. God does not stop working on us. Even today, He is working in your life. He is either seeking to save you from your sin, using His Word, circumstances, and people to bring awareness of your need and the knowledge of His awesome gift. The OR of God's working is that He is working in your life as a believer. He is seeking to change you from self to the Spirit and use you to help others through life for eternity.

God uses certain tools in order to do His work of shaping us into the image of Christ. He used four in the life of David: 1 Samuel 16:14-23

- He uses Solitude; v. 19
- He uses Sameness; vv. 11, 19; 17:15
- He uses Secrecy; v. 18
- He uses Struggles; vv. 17:34-37, 40-51

Using these tools God can bring out (v. 18)

1. A Skilled Person
2. A Strong Person
3. A Shrewd Person
4. A Striking Person
5. A Sanctified Person

Take it and improve upon it greatly as I did :-). God bless you all!
