1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Psalm 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Psalm 37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

GOD HAS A PLAN… THIS PROBLEM WILL RUIN MY BUSINESS… WAS THIS ACCIDENT AND ACCIDENT IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK …

A man owned a very prosperous fine dining restaurant in New York. Chicken was their primary food. He ordered hundreds of chickens for the holiday season. The big truck backed up and unloaded the chicken. When the truck left the owner opened the boxes of chicken, NOTHING BUT CHICKEN WINGS, NOTHING BUT WINGS! He called his supplier. They had already left the office. There was nothing that he could do. So HE STARTED WORKING WITH THE CHICKEN WINGS. He played around with different recipes. Finally he came up with HOT WINGS… That weekend he broke all sales records selling HOT WINGS --- HE PUT THE CITY ON THE MAP --- BUFFALO HOT WINGS… Buffalo wild wings would have never happened unless the wrong delivery occurred?

COULD THIS ACCIDENT BEEN GOD?

COULD GOD BE IN THIS PROBLEM? WILL I REACT OR WILL I ACT --- NATURE IS SO AMAZING.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

GOD HAS A PLAN… DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY? IT APPEARS THE MINISTRY IS OVER, QUEEN JEZEBEL HAS SIGNED A DEATH WARRANT ON PREACHER ELIJAH. AHAB AND JEZEBEL HATED THE MESSEGER BECAUSE THE HATED THE MESSAGE…

What do you mean DON’T WORRY? Elijah THE MOST POWERFUL FAMILY IN THE WORLD HATES ME AND MY MESSAGE…

1 Kings 17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

MY BROOK GOES DRY? THE RAVENS STOP COMING? NOW WORRY? WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE BROOK GOES DRY?

1 Kings 17:7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

GOD’S PLAN DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE RAVENS OR THE BROOK?

GET UP AND GO --- GOD DOES NOT ALWAYS BRING YOU THE ANSWER, YOU HAVE TO ARISE AND GO…

1 Kings 17:9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

GOD HAS A PLAN… FEAR NOT PREACHER, FEAR NOT WIDOW LADY, FEAR NOT SON…

1 Kings 17:13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

THEY FOUND GOD IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL OF MEAL… YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS FIND GOD UNTIL YOU GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL… TRUST GOD… DON’T WORRY THE DOGS WILL NOT GET YOU?

BY THE WAY: THE SAME DOGS THAT LICKED NABBOTH’S INNOCENT BLOOD WILL LICK THE KING’S BLOOD… NOT YOURS…

Ahab servants went through the CHARIOT WASH, AND WASHED AHAB’S CHARIOT AND ARMOUR --- THERE WERE DOGS WAITING TO LICK THE BLOOD…

GOOD HAS A PLAN TRUST IT, THE SAME DOGS… THAT LICKED NABBOTH AND AHAB, THE SAME DOGS WILL JUST LEAVE A TESTIMONY OF WICKED JEZEBEL…

2 Kings 9:10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.

2 Kings 9:35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

My friends, DON’T WORRY, TRUST THE PLAN OF GOD…. WHEN THE STORM RAGES HIGH? WHEN THE DOCTOR HAS BAD NEWS? WHEN THERE IS NO WAY OR NO ANSWER, TRUST GOD’S PLAN…

GOD HAS A PLAN… IF I TRUST GOD COULD THIS PROBLEM EQUAL A GOD OPPORTUNITY?
