Do you think Job was confused at the circumstances in which he found himself? Have you ever felt confused about your circumstances? I'm sure we all have been there. Our study group on Monday nights is going through the study Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby. In one of the lessons this past week, we are learning about seeing our circumstances from "God's perspective", seeking to gain his viewpoint on what is happening to us. In that lesson, Blackaby proposed some helpful principles that can aid in gaining God's perspective on our situation, especially if we might be confused. Here they are:
- Settle in your mind that God has forever demonstrated His unfailing love for you on the cross. That love will never change.
- Do not try to understand what God is like from the middle of your circumstances.
- Go to God and ask Him to help you see His perspective on your situation.
- Wait on the Holy Spirit. He may take God's Word and help you understand your circumstances.
- Adjust your life to God and to what you see Him doing in your circumstances.
- Do all he tells you to do.
- Experience God working in and through you to accomplish His purposes.
Maybe these principles will be helpful when you are in a confusing situation.
