JD Bowman | God’s Purposeful Presence in the Pit
1. EXPECT SIN TO BRING SORROW INTO YOUR LIFE.
?- Like Jacob, are there patterns of sin in my life or my family that is bringing sorrow to me or those around me?
?- Like Reuben, is there something that I’m trying to make-up-for rather than repenting from it?
2. EXPECT CHRIST TO BE THE ANSWER TO THE PIT YOU’RE IN.
The OT theme of “the Pit”
• A Cistern (Jer 2:13)
• A Dungeon (Genesis 40:15, Exodus 12:29)
• The Grave (Psalm 30:3, Isaiah 14:15, Ezekiel 32:18)
• God’s Discipline (Psalm 88:4–7, Zechariah 9:11)
• Emotional or Physical Trials (Psalm 40:2)
?- How should the fact that Christ descended into the “pit” and defeating death affect the pits I’m in when…
• I‘m emotionally or physically distressed?
• I’m under God’s discipline for sin?
• I’m concerned about death?
3. EXPECT GOD TO BE IN SOVEREIGN CONTROL OF HIS PLAN.
?- Is it a comfort to me that God is in sovereign control of His plan, or is it frustrating for me to recognize this?
?- What situations might it be easy for me to think that God’s not in control/accomplishing His plan?
