“Living Above Your Circumstances.”
Scripture Reference: ( Philippians 1:12-20)
WHEN WE’RE GOING THROUGH HARD TIMES, it’s comforting to know that nothing can touch a believer’s life unless The LORD allows it. He has complete control even in our most difficult painful circumstances. Through it all, we’re being led firmly in our Father’s loving hand and, His good purpose is being worked out in our life.
We may desperately desire for our circumstances to change. However, to achieve His purposes, God allows us to go through trials that are designed to make us more like Christ. We’ll reap the spiritual benefits if, instead of trying to extricate ourselves, we let The LORD finish the work He has started.
Paul’s time in prison proved to be a benefit for the gospel. Logically, incarceration should have hindered his ministry however, it had the opposite effect. During that time Paul was guarded by many Roman soldiers and, each new shift gave him the opportunity to explain the gospel to another “captive audience.”
We’re not promised an easy life however; God uses our trials to accomplish His will. Difficult experiences are given to us for our good, for the benefit of others and, for God’s glory; amen.
Yours in Christ
