Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
Summary
Themes
Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.It is possible to get the massive spiritual milestones right while dropping our guard on seemingly smaller everyday decisions.
- 2.The enemy does not always attack with obvious force; he often uses low-profile, subtle deceptions like moldy bread and worn sandals to catch us off guard.
- 3.Spiritual vulnerability is highest on the descent following a major victory, making intentional vigilance after success essential.
- 4.We often interrogate situations and investigate facts while committing the quiet sin of failing to think about thinking about God.
- 5.True guidance requires staying constantly tethered to the Holy Spirit, much like a spacewalking astronaut tied to a life-support system.
- 6.When we stumble into poor commitments or unwise alliances without asking God, His grace remains available to redeem our circumstances when we fully surrender to Him.
- 7.Acknowledging God in all our ways means desiring God Himself above merely seeking a quick answer or checking off a religious duty.
- 8.Inquiring of the Lord applies to both the great crossroads of life and the granular details of our daily routines and choices.
Sermon Moments
“Joshua got it right on the big thing, but he missed on this somewhat smaller one.”
“The enemy may come at you guns blazing, but he might come at you with moldy bread.”
“The descent is where most climbers die—the enemy's primary point of attack is often after the battle, not before it.”
“They asked the right questions and looked in the right places, but they didn't go to the right source.”
“They committed the sin of not thinking about thinking about God.”
“Stay tethered to the Spirit like an astronaut attached to a life-support tether in open space.”
“There is grace for us when we make bad alliances if we come back to God and put our total dependence on Him.”
“Acknowledging God isn't just checking a box for advice—it's saying, 'Jesus, I want You in all my ways.'”
This Week
Remember This
In every choice—both big and small—we must continually inquire of the Lord, desiring His presence above all else rather than relying on our own understanding.
