A few notes from Bill’s sermon yesterday….wrapping up the book of Habakkuk (starting Daniel next weekš).
We live in a shaky world but God will set the record straight in the end! Develop a strong faith by being honest with God about your problems, put yourself in a position to hear God and our desire for Christ must be deeper than our desire for better circumstances.
Chap3: 17-18… EVEN THOUGH……..YET!!! Put your circumstance after ‘even though’……yet…I will rejoice in my salvation in the Lord! EVEN THOUGH… my health is worrisome…YET… I will rejoice in my salvation in the Lord. Ā EVEN THOUGH…..YET
EVEN THOUGH…YET…I will rejoice in my salvation in the Lord!!
Yes, I will!!! Ā God’s way of escape is through endurance not avoidance.
So two truths to take away-
1. Purpose/meaning is what makes life worth living- not happiness.
2. When we are at our lowest point God will lift us up- have faith.
*The best indicator of your faith is not when life is easy but instead when it becomes difficult. “The just shall live by faith.” (Hab. 2:4)

I think the thing that helps me the most when I get all weirded out by this world and its junk is to reset my mind back to remember that this is all temporary….this body, this world, this life…only temporary. Ā The real thing is the kingdom of God! Ā I am able then to throw away my disappointments, toss my bucket list, die to jealousies and comparisons, stop being sad that I am no longer young, and to stop grieving over past failures and lost opportunities….and so much more. Ā This life is to prepare us for the real eternal life to come with Jesus. Ā Even Though…..Yet…..
Just Jesus,
Sheri
