(41) Tell Your Story

Tell Your Story

Is it a problem or an opportunity? Sometimes it’s both! Problems are discouraging, they tempt us to give up UNLESS God opens our eyes to what He is doing. 

So what do we do when the odds are stacked against us? When people challenge our faith? When we are dismissed and disparaged?

Jesus tells us what not to do: don’t stress and obsess; because, in the end, God’s got this and He will bear witness to the truth.

Here’s another little Flashlight to encourage you today!

Scripture: Luke 21:10-18

Bad things will happen in the earth and at the hands of humans

BUT THIS WILL BE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO BEAR WITNESS.

Why should we not meditate beforehand?

1. If you obsess you will rely more on yourself and mistakenly think it is up to you
2. you get in your way with your own agenda
3. you mistakenly think your did i on your own
4. in reality you will have no idea what God wants from the exchange anyway
5. God makes it His business to work through unqualified people
6. we aren’t married to the results
7. we see how God worked through it
8. we don’t make it about ourselves/skills/knowledge– God gets all the credit
