Our Future Is in God’s Hands | Sunday Message
“. . . But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help” (Psalm 31: 22). How often has that been true for you, too? Psalm 31 puts the overwhelming goodness of God on display, reminding us of who He is in hardship we face. Get more insight into this psalm now with Pastor Greg Laurie. Notes: Today's Scripture: Psalm 31 God determines the length of your life. God was preparing David to be a king, the greatest of Israel’s kings. The most important thing about this king is, he would be in the Messianic line. Acts 13: 22 Overall, David did everything God wanted him to do, not flawlessly but faithfully. “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, for You have considered my trouble and You have known my soul in adversities. ” Psalm 31: 7 Sometimes the ones you help the most hurt you the worst. Sometimes fellow believers will criticize you when God begins to bless you. People are going to hurt you in life, and you will hurt people as well. “God allows us to feel the frailty of human love so we’ll appreciate the strength of His. ” —C. S. Lewis Forgiveness doesn’t mean condoning bad behavior or dismissing it. To forgive means, “surrendering the right to get even. ” When you face tragedy, when you face hardship, the church is there for you. When people are hurting, they just need someone to be with them. Harvest Groups God is in control of our lives, and He determines how long we will live. Psalm 31: 14–15 God has a beautiful future for you. Jeremiah 29: 11 Get your eyes off your problems and put them on God! Psalm 31: 23–24 Put your hope in God. Psalm 119: 114; Romans 15: 4 “If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God, you’ll be at rest. ” —Corrie ten Boom “Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord. ” Psalm 27: 14 As Christians, we are indestructible until God is done with us. You decide in this life where you will spend the afterlife.

And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, not only were man and woman handmade by God, the institution of marriage was, as well. Today we’ll get the full story.
