September and October's Topic is Trust
Many Christians Struggle with Trusting God and Other People.
We decided this month and next...it's all about TRUST! Visit the blog to find new posts throughout the month about trust!
Jerry Bridges wrote the
book, "Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts."
This is what he says:
“Because obeying God makes sense to us. In most cases, His laws appear
reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually
concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in
often defy explanation. When unexpected situations arise that appear unjust,
irrational, or even dreadful, we feel confused and frustrated. And before long,
we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives. Grappling
with His concern for us we ask, “Why is God allowing this?” Adversity is hard
to endure and can be even harder to understand.”
