God Thinking 58 - Getting Beyond Yourself 8

"Many problems and troubles may come your way, unsolicited and not due to any action or inaction on your part.  The fact that each and every person has free will, puts us all at risk for unexpected events in our life.

And because of the fall of man, sickness and rust and deterioration and death of the flesh will find its way into every household, saved or unsaved, sanctified or spirit filled.

It’s not in escaping the negative things that come your way, but in the managing of those things in agreement with and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that proves your faith.

It is in God’s intervention into the events of life that you come to recognize how fragile you are and how utterly dependent you are on your heavenly Father."
