We have the promise of a perfect life. But this isn’t it!
Revelation 21:4
YOUR STRUGGLES DO NOT MEAN:
You are a bad person – see Job
Job 1:1
And like Job we are often targeted because of Whose we are!
You have messed up – see David
1 Samuel 17:37, 1 Samuel 23:14
Even though we have messed up! 2 Samuel 11:3-4
God has ordained you to struggle, experience hardship, endure pain or failure – see Moses
The struggles are what happens on the way to my purpose, my victory, my promise, what happens during the process.
God has forgotten about you – see Peter
Luke 22:62, John 21:3
The fact that you struggle simply means you are alive!
GOD’S ANSWER FOR YOUR STRUGGLES:
God always has a plan, and it’s a good one!
David
2 Samuel 22
2 Samuel 12:24
God redeems our pasts!
Moses
Exodus 15:23-27
Some of you have tried in the past, given up, even lost your way, but now you’re trying again. Don’t get discouraged or distracted this time and lose your awesome!
Our struggles are not the end or the focus, they are the opportunity to see God do something awesome, to believe Him for awesome, to be involved in awesome!
Peter
Can I let you in on a little secret? God knew you were going to blow it.
Luke 22:32, John 21:15-17, Acts 2:14
God has not forgotten you!
Church 29:11
