“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”
Luke 12:34
God’s tenderness and compassion avalanche upon us from the peaks of his steadfast love and mercy. In this lab, Pastor John reminds us that God’s grace is amazing because God himself is.
How did you come to be a Christian? Join Charles Spurgeon and joyfully confess, “I ascribe my change wholly to God!”
When I was coming to Christ, I thought I was doing it all myself, and though I sought the Lord earnestly, I had no idea the Lord was seeking me. I do not think the young convert is at first aware of this.
I can recall the very day and hour when first I received those truths [the doctrine of election] in my own soul — when they were, as John Bunyan says, burnt into my heart as with a hot iron, and I can recollect how I felt that I had grown on a sudden from a babe into a man — that I had made progress in Scriptural knowledge, through having found, once for all, that clue to the truth of God.
“The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.“
Psalm 37:23-24
The war is over turn around Lay your weapons on the ground The smoke is fading before the light The dead are coming back to life He has made a way for us Born for glory out of dust Children held within the arms of Peace He has made a way for all Mercy waits where sinners fall He is our Victory The war is over His love has come To call us daughters and sons No longer orphans without a home We have found where we belong
It’s hard to see all the little frustrating events and interruptions in our day as divinely placed opportunities to grow in grace, but they are.
My life is filled with interruptions, inconveniences, frustrations, and unexpected events. Things break. Accidents happen. The phone rings just as I climb into bed. Traffic makes me late. Just when we don’t need another added expense, an appliance breaks. Unexpected illnesses change my carefully crafted plans. I could go on and on. You probably could too.
The problem is, I usually handle these interruptions to my life poorly. I react with frustration and anger. Like a young child, I want to stomp my feet and say, “It’s not fair!” I blame others for inconveniencing me. I’ll even throw my own pity parties.
Though these interruptions are unexpected and catch me off guard, they do not catch God off guard. They are not random, meaningless events. In fact, these interruptions are divinely placed in my path for a reason. God uses these interruptions to change me to be more like Christ.
No one likes to be told to be patient. However, it is a Fruit of the Spirit. So how does patience really help us as Christians? What does biblical patience look like? And why might it be the most significant of any Fruit of the Spirit thus far.
Tozer once said, “The most important thing about you is what you think about when you think about God.” Tozer believed our vision and view of God was massively important and significantly impacted the future of our lives. He believed our theology of God was the foundation of everything else.
I’m no Tozer, so I’m not going to argue with him. But recently, I began wondering, “If that’s the most important thing, what’s the second?”
If the most important thing about you is what you think about when you think about God, then the second most important thing about you (in my opinion) is what God thinks about when God thinks about you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled.
John 14:1
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12
In this lab, Pastor John reminds us that wisdom is not something for the academic elite but rather it’s for everyone who desires to follow God and live a joy-filled life.
