Can something “bad” turn out good for other people? Check out the answer in the life of a guy who got attacked, arrested and falsely imprisoned.
Game Plan:
“Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else, and that most of the brothers and sisters, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.” Philippians 1:12-14, NAS
Time Out:
What is your first thought when something “bad” happens?
Is it, “Darn it. Why me?”
Or, try this thought: “God, this is a blitz.
What is the opportunity to accomplish Your purpose and increase your fame through this?”
God’s purpose for us is simple – to become more like Jesus and help other people meet Jesus and become more like Him.
Go Deep:
Write yourself a mission statement that reminds you that your purpose in life is to do God’s purpose – love Him and love others.
Let each “bad” thing that happens be a blitz. Ask God to show you its opportunity and give you the strength to use it for His bigger purpose.
God’s purpose for us is simple – to become more like Jesus and help other people meet Jesus and become more like Him.
