Consider Well

So often we think…The pressure will be off when X happens. Or we will be able to do more when Y is completed. And, I will be less grumpy/happier when Z comes through.

Sounds plausible…But life doesn’t work this way!

Because after X,Y and Z are addressed, new issues always arise.The challenges never leave.So we must roll with them, trust God and live by faith.

And when I say ‘live by faith’ I don’t mean adopting a syrupy “don’t worry, everything will be okay” attitude. Some things are NOT okay and require diligent attention.

Rather…I’m talking about trusting the infinite, personal God who is working all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28).

… And this includes trusting Him with all those areas of life we’d like to have settled today.
