"What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know… the thing is to understand myself, to see what God

I want to begin the study tonight by telling you a story.  I first heard this story about 30 years ago.   I was listening to J Vernon McGee on the radio explain a great Bible truth and he told the following story to illustrate the Biblical principle.

The Christian group the Imperials recorded one of my favorite songs over 20 years ago. It is called, “He Didn’t Lift Us Up To Let Us Down.” 
“He didn’t bring us this far to leave us. 
He didn’t teach us to swim to let us drown. 
He didn’t build His home in us

In a 70 year lifetime, it will beat an average of 75 times a minute, forty million times a year - or two-and-a-half billion times. At each beat, the average adult heart discharges
