WHEN TROUBLE TROUBLES YOU... DO A DEFRAG...

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

I use three items: BUTTER... A HARD BOILED EGG... BAG OF COFFEE...

I bring out one at a time... We discuss what heat does to each

BEWARE: SLOW SMOTHERING... a slow threat to our enviromental threat

KUDZU: is native to China and Japan... it has been used in the southern USA as a vine to

stop erosion... when introduced in the south it was a miracle...

Then the night mare began... 70 TO 100 FEET TALL OAK TREES and kill them...

Kudzu has covered parking lots and barns and cabins...Kudzu can grow 1 foot a day,

60 feet a year...

I. EVERY ONE THAT KNOWS MUCH ABOUT A COMPUTER KNOWS YOU NEED TO

TO DO A DEFRAGMENTATION FROM TIME TO TIME...

Psalm 55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

[6] And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

A. Your computer is a wonderful tool to use to help you in many ways.

It can keep good records, it can help you communicate with friends and family.

B. After using the computer it becomes SLOW & SLUGGISH...

C. Frequent use of MANY OF THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS and PERSONAL DOCMENTS

CAN CAUSE PIECES OF INFORMATION TO BECOME SCATTERED...

D. THE SCATTERED PIECES OF INFORMATION MEANS THE COMPUTER MUST SEARCH

HERE AND THERE TO FIND THE PIECES AND MAKE THEM USABLE...

E. This problem has to be fixed... the computer will become so SLOW...

So you run a PROGRAM THAT RETRIEVES ALL THE PIECES OF INFORMATION...

THE DEFRAGMENTATION... OR DEFRAG RETRIEVES THE PIECES OF INFORMATION

AND PLACES THEM TOGETHER FOR QUICK EASY ACCESS...

F. WE NEED A SPIRITUAL DEFRAG...

DEVOTIONS,PRAYER & THE BIBLE CAN HELP US DEFRAGMENT OUR DAILY LIFE...

II. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW MANY THINGS THERE ARE IN LIFE TO DRAIN YOUR

ENERGY AND SLOW YOU DOWN? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HOW YOUR EMOTIONS

CAN PLAY GAMES WITH YOUR HEART?

Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the

righteous to be moved.

A. Have you ever tried to FOCUS YOUR MIND...

Have you ever tried to CONCENTRATE ON SOMETHING?

B. Have you ever tried to GO TO SLEEP AND YOUR MIND IS RACING 200 MPH,

and you can not find sleep?

C. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN FISHING?

Any good fisher-person knows: A BIG PART OF FISHING IS LEARNING THE PROPER

TECHIQUES OF CASTING... and reeling the line in...

D. THE WORD SAYS: CAST YOUR CARES UPON UPON ON THE LORD...

IF YOU CAST YOUR BURDEN, HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU...

E. WHEN YOU NEED PRAYER THE MOST IS PROBABLY WHEN YOU HAVE THE LEAST

TIME TO REALLY PRAY...

When you find it hard to pray... PRAY HARD...

III. HAVE YOU EVER HAD LIFE JUST GET TO PAINFUL... ???

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN LIFE GETS TO PAINFUL?

A. Psalms 73 is not written by David...

It was written by a PRAISER AND GREAT MUSICAN/SINGER...

Psalm 73:16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

B. We live in a day that instead of GETTING TO THE ROOT of the problem ...

WE TRY MOOD ALTERING TOOLS:

1. ANGER

2. BITTERNESS

3. ALCOHOL

4. PILLS, ILLEGAL... PRESCRIPTION...

5. SOMEONE ELSES ARMS...

6. GO IN BUY, BUY, BUY... THEN THE DEBT... BILLS...

C. WHY ASAPH HAS LIFE GOT SO BITTER AND ANGRY THAT THE PAIN IS

UNBEARABLE?

Psalm 73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

[2] But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

D. WHY ARE YOU WANTING TO FLY AWAY...

Psalm 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

D. WHEN LIFE GETS TOOOOO PAINFUL WHAT DO YOU DO...???

Psalm 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

Psalm 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that

I may declare all thy works.

IV. WHAT HAPPENED MIGHTY GENERAL? WHEN TROUBLE TROUBLES YOU...

ONE OF THE GREATEST ARMY GENERALS THAT EVER GAVE ORDERS...

THIS GENERAL HAD VICTORY ON EVERY SIDE...

THIS GENERAL HAD THE GREATEST TRAINED HORSES, CHARIOTS,

THEY WERE UNDEFEATABLE... A MULTITUDE...

Judges 4:13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and

all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.

A. THE MIGHTY GENERAL'S NAME WAS SISERA...

B. THE VERY NAME OF SISERA PUT FEAR IN EVERY ENEMY...

C. Seems like Sisera was THE VICTORY MAN...
