Change Points
Filed under: Leading Churches
In all of our lives we encounter major events that cause us to stop the routine and reevaluate where we are and more importantly where we want to be. These sometimes crisis and many times normal episodes in our lives are significant enough to change us.
It can be something as positive as getting married or having our first child. It can be something as negative as divorce or losing a child to illness or accident.
Life is full of change points and many times we do not get to choose the ones we experience but we always get to choose our reaction to them. Many people are left bitter because of their personal tragedy while others seem to have a different perspective on life.
There is a tremendous difference between faith and trust in God. Faith answers the question, Is God Able? Trust answers the question, Is God Good? Faith deals with the power of God , trust deals with His character.
Our heavenly Father never promised us a life free of pain and suffering but He did promise us with it would be His abiding presence and His sustaining grace. The greatest lie you will ever believe is that you cannot trust the One who loves you the most.
God is Good.
