In tonight’s devotional, Tim reminds us that we don’t always see the things we should see. How might the book of Philippians help us with that problem over the next few weeks?
We are studying the life of Solomon on Sunday nights! Tonight we see Solomon’s glory at its height, with God’s blessings overflowing in his life. What can we learn from this “golden age?”
The more we read and get into His word, the more we can understand what God has done for us through Christ. But often times, it is hard to see these blessings especially (1) when we feel so worthless, undeserving, and guilty because we know we are not living right or (2) when our life is filled with pain and suffering. Let’s revisit the type of God we serve and what He has done for us, so that we can not only encourage ourselves but also be prepared to encourage others.
Different places in life bring different spiritual opportunities and challenges. While we all want our life to be filled with “the good times,” sadly, that’s often when our faith falters. What does God want us to know about living faithfully when things are good?
