The Past

A brief break during the exhaustion of the end of the school year and finals week.


 

My past, like your past, includes heartaches and disappointments. However, reflecting on my past results in my being grateful, joyful and prayerful (1 Thessalonians 5:16-20). Reflection illuminates God's hand in everything, working for the good to those who love God, and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).


 

Reflection illuminates God's purpose in your life, which includes you being joyful, grateful and prayerful (1 Thessalonians 5:16-20).


 

Yes, life is tough as we endure the challenges. However, God's prosperity results in those who believe the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, receiving internal peace, joy and gratitude beyond human comprehension.


 

Even though I am exhausted now, I know that I will reflect on these challenging days of intense studying at Dallas Theological Seminary with joy and gratitude. Because, time will brightly illuminate God's hand in this time—even more so than now.


 

What challenges are you experiencing? Trust Christ as your Savior, receive the indwelling Holy Spirit and His internal peace. Internal peace exists independent of external circumstances, independent of all the "junk" that may occur in your life. How will you reflect on this challenge in six-months, or twenty-years.


 

I better return to studying!


 

See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
