Trials - Monday, February 12, 2007
A life without trials. What a Utopian bliss that would be. But none of us will experience that- not in this life, anyway. We all have conflicts, make stupid decisions, and get ourselves into trouble. What matters is how we deal with those trials, the experience we gain, and how we approach the future.
If you're a Christian you can take comfort from the words of Romans 8:28, that all things work for the good of those who love God. God is sovereignly in control of every situation, and while it is important for us to do our best, we ultimately place our trust in him. Nothing happens that is not part of God's plan, and just because we can't see past the mire around us doesn't mean that he doesn't have the best planned for us. What we think is best is often not what God thinks is best.
