God Has a Knack

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Rick Morgan fills in for Pastor Brad and shares the message: "God Has a Knack."

The word “Knack” is defined as:  “an acquired or natural skill at performing a task.”  --“An acquired or natural skill at performing a task.”  Isn’t that interesting. What this says to me is that God has the natural skill, and we have the acquired skill through the Holy Spirit that lives within us.

But even before Jesus’ crucifiction on the cross and the subsequent release of the Holy Spirit to His believers, God was giving people skills to perform a task. He did this with David defeating Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:34-37, and again with the Isrealites bringing down the walls of Jerico in Joshua 6:1-27.

God showed his "Knack" throughout the Old and New Testament.

Are you ready to have enough faith by simply hearing to believe? God says in Romans 10:17: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

This is not an optional way to live as a Christian. It is the truth. And truth, I believe, is expressed to us by God freely … deeply engrained faith comes through practice and life experience.

Prayer is practice: Listening to God is practice: Be still in your prayer and listen to Him.

Reading the Word is practice: there is not a situation in your life or the world that is not revealed in the Word of God. Open up your bible, ask Him to show you.

And through this “practice” you will gain life experience. Experience in your life where you can definitively say: “God got me through this before, I have no worries.” Remember the things God has done in your life and cling to them in times good and bad.

Rember, God Has a Knack.
