How much has your life changed in the last few months?
Do you trust that God is with you?
This week in worship we are taking a look at the
story of two disciples who wound up in prison.
Jesus had just commissioned them to go out and share the Good News, and
they wanted to preach, heal, and love. However, everything flips upside down when
they are thrown into a jail cell.
What do you do when life turns against you?

Personally, I don’t feel like I have any
right to complain about difficulties. I
am blessed with my place at the church, and I am blessed with my family and
friends. However, I can still become overwhelmed. Recently my kids have thrown all-out tantrums
because I won’t let them crawl into the dishwasher or eat the mud on their shoes.
It’s hard! However, an interesting thing will happen when I take time to
reflect on these moments a few days later.
If I have the opportunity, I will look back at a picture or think of a
crazy time, and I can’t help but to smile. If I stop to take a breath and
experience the love, I am able to experience the joy. In the Bible there are numerous stories of
people who realized God was always with them, but they never realized it until
long after the trial passed.
Today I hope you can take a bit of time and
look backward. Take time to forgive
yourself if you lost your temper… We all get lost in the moment! However, I hope we can open our hearts. May we all believe that God is always with us!
Blessings!
