What is our response to hardships?
2 Corinthians 1 : 9-10: 'Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. verse 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.'
Morning all,
It was so inspiring to see all of our brothers and sisters that attended the 4.2 km run last Sunday. We all ran the race with perseverance. Well done. Cat Meow especially inspired by your heart to try your best even though it was hard. God honoured you for that Cat. Keep going. I see so much change in you lately. You are learning slowly to have more courage in your heart, awesome.
Today's scripture really convicted my heart that God desires us so much to learn from our hardships and challenges. As Paul reminds us that we learn to rely on God and not on ourselves. We get to a turning point in our lives where we realise that we can't do anything in our power to change a situation and that only God can work. So surrender and trust is the most important. We also learn to have true hope in our hearts when we can rely on God during the hard times.
Lets us all imitate this heart that Paul calls us to. God is the only way to help us come out of our hardships still strong and secure in heart. Amen.
Have a blessed day.
Love in Christ,
Shelley
