1 Corinthians 16:9 says, "...and you are not your own." Do we understand this? Do we know this? I submit we do not!
We just heard a very honestly, very upfront testimony of the real trial of life. Sometimes God opens doors and makes the paths and shows the way, then the path turns and the doors seem to close. That has been very true for a family here. They have had the rug pulled out from under them in two major areas. Everything is not fixed, the damage is not repaired and the work of repairing what was broken is not done. Yet, the point of the testimony was to tell of God's faithfulness and His gift of faith. Nothing has made sense yet, there are no apparent reasons given yet for why things have happened. Yet, they have not lost heart in God, they know they can be grounded in Christ and that the Holy Spirit still is a comfort to them. They testify, not to a perfect life, but to a Sovereign God whose love can be trusted even when His presence may not be felt as it once was.
Shalom.
