Below was my 1st topic for Bible study.
(I searched on google to have an idea of what will be a good topic to discuss for our bible study)
“How to Deal with the Unexpected Trial"
Have
you ever found yourself wondering?
“Why
did this happen right now?”
or “Why did this happen so soon?”
Some of the trials of life are easily expected as they lurk in
the foreground- and this makes them a bit more manageable in some respects.
Though
certain hardships are just plain tough. No matter how far you know in advance.
Then,
that other category sneaks up on us.
You
know the one- the
unexpected.
The surprise that wasn’t so sweet.
The phone call
that sent a panic into our veins.
The news that was far from
pleasant.
They aren’t
pretty. They come from nowhere and before you know it, you’ve been blindsided. You didn’t see it coming and it’s
too late to attempt to do anything about it. The injury has been sustained. The news
has been delivered. The clock has struck and there is no turning back the time to yesterday.
Your spirit is wounded and dried up to the
point of feeling nonexistent yet the ache does not go away. You can hardly
believe it is true.
5 Biblical truths to claim when you need to
know how to deal with the unexpected
1. God
knows the best place for me in this moment.
For he will hide me in his
shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:5
2. God
will provide His strength to get me through this situation.
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the
earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the
sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its
swelling. Psalm 46:1-3
3. God
will hear me when I pray to Him.
In my distress I called upon
the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my
cry to him reached his ears. Psalm 18:6
4. God
has worked wonders in the past and will do it again.
I will remember the deeds of
the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. You are the God who
works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples. Psalm
77:11&14
5. God
has a plan for everything that happens in our lives.
The steps of a man are
established by the LORD, when he delights in his way;though he fall, he shall
not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand. Psalm 37:23
God uses problems to Examine
you.
God uses problems to Lead
you in the right Direction.
God uses problems to Discipline
you.
God uses problems to Shield
you from greater harm.
God uses problems to Refine
and Improve you.
GOD BLESS!
