1 Samuel 14:1-12


1. We are TIME TRAVELERS

Moving through moments is as natural as breathing.


2. TAKE a moment

moment ßà motion


3. JUST a moment

moment à atomos à atom


4. ENJOY the moment

a) Divine moments rarely come at a convenient time

b) We must not get stuck in a moment
"Time was not created with the power to hold you back, And if the future terrifies you, then just take it one moment at a time." ~ Erwin McManus

c) See beyond the moment (life is the sum total of moments)

d) The choice moment (we must choose)
"While moments are the context within which we live, choices chart the course and determine the destination." ~ McManus
You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil... Genesis 2:16-17




5. We cannot follow God in NEUTRAL

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. James 4:17 (NLT)


6. Just do SOMETHING

Jesus described the servant who did nothing as wicked and lazy. [Matt. 25:14-30]

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires. Psalms 37:4 (NLT)

"When you're madly in love with God, you can do whatever you want." ~ McManus

If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. Matthew 10:39 (NLT)



*** Application ***

Take some initiative and ask God this dangerous question...
"What can I do today to make a difference in the world?"
