Pep talk on trials
Some notes from last night's pep talk before the prayer meeting- I guess my pastor can't speak without us having to take notes.
No self help garbage here, just advice for the Christian when trials inevitably come.
. What did David do during trials? He prayed for mercy- he knew his own sinfulness.
. All things that come to you are under His sovereign hand, for your benefit in Christ.
. God knows precisely when your trials will start and the nanosecond they will end.
Here are some quotes our pastor provided:
"It is the duty of God’s people to trust in Him when in darkness" Jonathan Edwards
"Nothing comes to pass, but what is the product of God's eternal counsel and decree." John Flavel
"Whatever presses on them (believers), it must pass through the banner of the love of the Lord Jesus.” John Owen (puritan)
