Give it to God - Associate Pastor Brad Stevens (09.14.2016)

Psalm 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved



"Sometimes bad things happen to good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. Sometimes the devil will confront us head on but never allow your circumstances overcome you. Bad circumstances will bring worry, fear, and cause you to fret and if you're not careful, before you know it, you will be overcome with all these things and you will be stifled."
"God knows our situation, he has never left us alone. There is nothing too hard for The Lord and we, as the people of God, need to stand firm and stand strong. Even when week after week, month after month, year after year goes by and the promise doesn't come, hold on to God. Don't let fear take over, don't let worry take over! One way or the other He will lift you up. He will encourage you! One way or the other He will make things right. God is a good God!"
"It's not wrong to wonder when God is going to step in and change your situation. What is wrong, is to allow yourself to doubt and entertain thoughts of unbelief because when you do, you are not giving God that situation." 
"God did not design you to carry burdens. Burdens are for us to give to God."
"It is not God's will for us to live 365 days a year with our heads hung down. I believe it's the will of God for us to live in victory and carry a light load!"
-Brad Stevens 
 















Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
