So what do you do when it seems like life makes no sense. What do you do when it seems you're faced with a "curve ball"?
James 1:2 NLT
2 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
Seems lately, I'm frequently reminded of this scripture. What do you do? You trust in God! When it makes no sense, you trust in God. Seems easier said than done. Or maybe it's actually easier done than said.
I think the times I've experienced God's peace the greatest is when I'm going through one of these times of trouble. You see, when you're faced with trouble, there are 2 responses presented: either trust God or turn from Him.
In just the last few days, a friend of mine has really shown me how we should respond. My friend, Guy, is facing one of the darkest times of his life right now. His wife, Marianne, passed away early this morning after a several days struggle, leaving he and their 3 little girls. Instead of bitterness and resentment, he's choosing to trust in God. Oh my, the strength he's shown, the peace of God he's experienced. Bro, I see you as a man of God. I love you Bro!
May I have this same heart after God.
