When an individual or family experiences a crisis, we (I) often wonder why it has to happen. But it seems as though we are either coming out of a crisis or headed toward one. No one is exempt from the broken world coming into our lives. Many suffer from the cruelty of war, from abuse, or I’ll health. Life has a way of crushing our self sufficiency and independence. Life is not about us and our trajectory toward stardom and riches. Success in this life is worthy of our pursuit but the way of suffering demonstrates our need to glorify our risen Lord with every breath and each effort.
Quote: “We all face things that appear to make little sense and don’t seem to serve any good purpose. So rest is never found in the quest to understand it all. No, rest is found in trusting the One who understands it all and rules it all for his glory and our good.” - Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies:
How does Jesus’s anguish on the way to the cross help you when you are facing trials?
How are you being prepared today for tomorrow’s trials?
