Why people succumb into problems?
• They didn't listen to Paul
  Acts 27:10 Saying "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives."
• They trust other people
  Acts 27:11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.
• Because of pride
  They think that Paul was only a prisoner.
• Selfish Ambition
  All they want is to arrive to Italy.
• Attitude
  If they just only accept it as advice not as an insult.
• They don't trust God
  They pud God in the box.


2. When David face Goliath in the battlefield.

1 Samuel 17:37 More over David said, "The Lord, who delivered me from the paws of the lion and the paws of the bear, He will deliver me from the hands of this Pilistine."

1. His perspective differed from others. He saw an opportunity.
2. His method differed from others. He decided to use proven weapon that he knew would work.
3. His conviction differed from others. He heard that Goliath's threats against the God of Israel and knew God could beat him.
4. His vision differed from others. He wanted to make God known to the worlds as the most powerful God on earth.
5. His experience differed from others. He brought to the battlefield past victorious over a lion and bear, not months of paralyzing fear.

We are the one who make our own problems and if it grows big, it is because we nurture it. So if we are the one who make our own problem and if we are the one who nurture it, we can also make a thousand ways to remove it with God's help.
