God's Success Does Not Hinge on Humans
Analogy★★★★We get discouraged because of our faulty beliefs about things. And one of those faulty beliefs is that God’s success hinges on humans. Does God use humans in the work? Yeah, but does his success depend solely on human beings? No. God is going to have his way one way or the other. God’s work doesn’t hinge on one person. God’s work doesn’t hinge on a group of people. God is going to do his work. Battles are lost because of the weakness of men, but the war has been won because of the faithfulness of God.
Arruda, Gabriel, “Disappointed but Not Discouraged” (AudioVerse teaching 34153).
The point
