Rehoboth
Introduction: Rehoboth means the Lord has made room for us. Rehoboth is a place of enlargement. It can also mean the Promised Land or Place of comfort. It is a place is where things are settled, where our minds are at peace. Num.23:23 says there is no enchantment against Jacob; at Rehoboth, nobody will be able to question or challenge the doing of the Lord in our lives. There is a place that the Lord has prepared for us. When we get to our Rehoboth, every dream that God has given to us will surely come pass regardless of how we may feel right now.
Depending On A Dependable God
In these times we need to depend on God for everything because the days are evil. We need to depend on Him for our family, work, ministry, and every other area of our lives. To be dependable means to be capable of being depended on; it means to be worthy of trust; or reliable. Dependable also means trustworthy, reliable, tried and true, safe, secure, or good. Our God is dependable; you can trust him and you can rely on Him for everything. He is Jehovah Shammah because He is present everywhere; we can look up to God because He is the Divine Helper, Creator, Providence, Security, Safety, Protective Provision , and Divine Constancy.
Gaged But Not Destroyed
Introduction: The Bible says in II Cor. 4: 8 – 9 that “we are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” To be caged means to be barred in a room or fenced enclosure as in a prison. A prison is a place of confinement or captivity and a prisoner is a person deprived of liberty and kept under involuntary restraint, confinement, or custody. Caged times are terrifying moments; times you feel stranded or frustrated, times of fear, anxiety, trouble, weariness, or confusion.
