When We Take Matters into Our Own Hands

Presentation transcript:

Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.... Oh, yes! Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.... So if you find life difficult because you're doing what God said, take it in stride. Trust him. He knows what he's doing, and he'll keep on doing it. 1 Peter 4:1-2, 12-13, 19 The Message

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! Isaiah 30:18

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties. Charles Spurgeon
