Unit2-Day1 Experiencing God

From "Experiencing God" -Knowing and Doing the Will of God
by Henry and Richard Blackaby Claude King

Unit 2 : Looking to God

"Some trust in chariot and some in horses. But I trust in the name of the Lord our God" Psalm 20:7

Day1 : God-Centered living

A Self-Centered Life or A God Centered Life
*Is focused on self or *Places confidence in God

*Is proud self and self's accomplishments or *Depends on God and His ability and provision

*Is self-confident or*Focuses on God and His activity

*Depends on self and abilities or*Is humble before God

*Affirms self or*Denies self

*Seeks to be acceptable to the world and it way or*Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

*Looks at circumstances from a human or*Seek God's perspective in every perspective circumstance

*Chooses selfish and ordinary living or*Chooses holy and Godly living .
To know and do God's will, you must deny self and return to a God -centered life.

"Self-centeredness is a subtle trap because it makes sense from a human perspective.
Like King Asa(2 Chron. 16:1-3) you can avoid it at one time and fall into its trap at another."

"God never asks people to dream up something to do for Him."
