Luke 21:13 But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.

We may well go through trials in our lives and wonder how they happen or why they happen because we think God should be looking after us all the time…

Well, God is watching us always and is always with us, but we still live in a broken world where things go wrong.

Sometimes things can be used for good even though they appear so bad on the surface. We can always try to find a positive side to things going wrong in our lives – even if it is only to show people we have to trust God no matter what happens in our lives!

Matthew 8:4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Even though Jesus healed the lepers completely from leprosy He still told them to go through the proper channels to get themselves “signed off” as being well.

Jesus may well do miracles and go against what the world knows is possible, but He will not go against God’s Word.

We can be sure Christ is in it if we know what is happening is happening within the bounds of God’s Word.

Believe Christ can do anything but make sure you stick to God’s Word whilst doing that!

Matthew 5:23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

What is your attitude toward doing things for God? Or for giving things to God?

We may well straighten out our prayer life and start praying with the right attitude, but unless we are doing the same in our lives we are fooling ourselves only.

God wants us to be good examples for Him; people who can give a good account of Christ through their actions as well as through their words.

If you have anything against anyone, try straighten it out before it brings you down as well.
