Trusting God When Things Go Wrong

In everyday life, it’s easy to get swept aside by all the ugly and all the heartache and forget we’ve already won the battle. We’re just waiting for the end-game. God keeps all his promises.

Alrighty! Sorry for missing a post yesterday, y’all; I got caught up with making a birthday present for my beloved. His birthday’s this coming Sunday, so I had to make him something special. Happy early Birthday, Andrew! 😉

Anyway. As I pondered what to write about this morning, I decided I should look at a BYU talk that Andrew sent me. You can read it here if you want; it’s called “Trusting God When Things Go Wrong.” As always, Andrew managed to send me something I really needed to hear myself, so I figured I’d share it with you all as well. Naturally, BYU talks are always super long, so I can’t really talk about the whole thing here. But, I can focus on the core message, and that is simply this: No matter what we go through in life, our trust in the Lord will be what always pulls us through.

Acts 20: Paul And The Apostasy

Alrighty! Time to get the new day started off right. This time I’ve got a little something on Acts 20 for y’all. And some pretty flowers I found in my neighborhood. Aren’t they beautiful? 🙂 So today, I found a big chunk of Paul’s words that basically talk a lot about the Apostasy. He was prophesying it in the days before his death, cuz he knew he was going to die pretty soon.

It’s times like this, when I see it was prophesied in the New Testament, that I wonder how most Christians are able to dismiss the idea. It’s like, even though Jesus said there’s only one church, people think it’s normal to have thousands of different churches, even though they don’t agree on the most basic doctrines. Even though there’s always been a prophet and/or apostles around, people aren’t troubled by the fact that their church doesn’t have any. But that’s how God has always led his people, from day one. Why is nobody bothered by this?
