Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-19; Ecclesiastes 9:10; II Samuel 23:13-17

Topic: Servanthood

Notes:- We wait endlessly until we're prepared or have the resources to do something for God- Moses at burning bush: "I'm not equipped"- Moses' staff became symbol of authority... beginning of servanthood- It's not how much you have, but Who blesses it; serve Him now- We think because we're saved things should be pleasant- Conversion is immediate, but being conformed takes a lifetime- David in cave... 3 mighty men risked lives to bring him water- A cave is a place you’ve got nowhere else to go- David poured water out... turned cave into a temple- Don't sit and wither because nothing is happening in your life- Jesus at temple... people had turned temple into den of thieves- When your temple turns into a cave you turn inward, selfish... Jesus will tear it down- Give, pray, praise and turn your cave back into a temple- The most fulfilled people are working for God.
