#SERVEbrew: Purpose Church - Ps Chad and Angel Dinkel

Ps. Chad and Angel Dinkel started Purpose Church in Baton Rouge, LA in early 2018. But there is nothing new to them about loving people who are hurting and broken. This church is built on a foundation of loving people no matter who they are or what they are going through - taking risks and believing in them as they discover their PURPOSE. Through a wide range of serve expressions - from pop-up lemonade giveaways,  to addiction recovery and discipleship ministry... this church community truly reflects the heart of Jesus. If you're ever in the Baton Rouge area, be sure to pay these guys a visit. It will warm your heart and change your life.

Why would God do that for YOU?

 By Kim Freed

Psalm 3

1“Lord, how many are my foes!

   How many rise up against me!

2Many are saying of me,

   ‘God will not deliver him.’

3But you, Lord, are a shield around me,

   my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

4I call out to the Lord,

   and he answers me from his holy mountain.

5I lie down and sleep;

   I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

6I will not fear though tens of thousands

   assail me on every side.

7Arise, Lord!

   Deliver me, my God!

 Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

   break the teeth of the wicked.

8From the Lord comes deliverance.

   May your blessing be on your people.

  I read this passage this morning for my quiet time with God.  It’s from the Bible study program I use with my children.  The first note in the booklet said that our enemies don’t always try to hurt us.  Sometimes they just laugh at us for depending on God.  And I realized that “we” can behave like an enemy to ourselves when our thoughts seem to mock us for depending on God for something.  You know what I mean.  Something is going on and you’re trusting God, but in the back of your mind you hear something like, “You’ve GOT to be kidding!  Why would God do that for YOU?!”

The second note was in instruction to underline all the ways that God helps us in verses 3-6.  Check this out…

God is…

            My shield

            My glory

            The One who lifts my head high (He doesn’t just lift it…He lifts it HIGH!)

            He answers me

            He sustains me

  THAT is who God is!  THAT is what He does for me!  I can depend on Him when I remember who He really is.  Is it challenging to keep that in mind when our senses are contradicting those things?  Absolutely!  That’s when we go back to 2 Corinthians 10:5:

  “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

              We do this because the reality of who God is can be seen in the last verse of Psalm 3:

  8“From the Lord comes deliverance.  May your blessing be on your people.”

  He WILL deliver.  That is who He is and what He does.  Dig your heels in and stand on that truth.
