Resilience # 2
August 29, 2023
What makes it possible for Christians to go through terrible stuff and yet be resilient. Move forward. Paul states look ahead, not behind.
Philippians 3:13-15 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. He follows that stating that mature believers will agree.
Do you believe that mess in your life will define you? Keep you from being a growing Christ follower? God says you are learning and becoming mature. We are forgiven, strengthened for the next challenge, then next learning opportunity. The next opportunity to be resilient. All out for what God has next.
