Some of you here today are at a point in life where you never thought you would be. Unforeseen circumstances have thrown a “monkey wrench” into your plans. Your dream job didn’t pan out because the company downsized or moved
away. Your happily ever after ended in a divorce and now you are raising your
children by yourself. An unforeseen health problem has changed the way you must now live your life. Those much anticipated retirement years are being spent taking care of your parents or raising grandchildren. How have you responded to such things? Has a grumbling, complaining spirit begun to dominate your life?
The only time we need “steadfastness and patience” is when we are going through trials. Paul is saying that God’s power is evident in our lives the most when we have a thankful, joyous attitude in the midst of trials. We are the happiest when we glorify Him.
