Disappointed?

October 9, 2016

Have you ever been disappointed or discouraged? We must remember God is in control of every situation.

This weekend SOS Events had two large events scheduled and both were cancelled on Saturday because of heavy wind and rain. That meant that no one would be saved at these events. We know that it is God’s will to have people be saved so why the bad weather? Then we remember, He is in control. 

Our team member Stephanie drove from Pennsylvania to New Jersey but was it a waste? No. She had opportunity to meet several people from the NJ team and that will open future doors for her.

Carolyn and Beka drove from Florida to Virginia to oversee a new team. Today, they are hoping to be able to witness at the event after church if the tent and materials have not been distroyed by the heavy winds yesterday. Waste of time and effort? Absolutely not. Family is in the area and there was time for fellowship and a total day of rest which was needed. God can do in a few hours today what all of us would have done over the whole weekend. And if not, we still will trust Him and Praise the Lord for His goodness.

As He delivered the 3 men from the fiery furnace, He is able to turn disappointment into joy. God cannot change.

Daniel 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

God Meant It For Good

September 2, 2015

Exodus 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

The story of Joseph recorded in the Bible is a great example of how God turns what seems like terrible trouble into something good. Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers and left for dead, falsely accused of a crime and thrown into prison, but God used his circumstances to save the nation of Israel from extinction. 

Bad things happen to good people, but God uses difficult situations to bring about good to His children. Maybe it’s the loss of a job and you feel that you’ll never find anything better, but God then gives you the opportunity you have always wanted. Your house is foreclosed on and you have to move, then God gives you a home that far surpasses the one you lost. Someone you love dearly dies through tragic circumstances and God uses your loved ones death to bring you to salvation.

These examples are true testimonies of people that we know who are now serving the Lord with gladness. If you are going through a difficult time in your life right now, trust the Lord to take that situation and turn it around for good. Do not get discouraged, these things do not happen overnight but sometimes it takes months or even years to be fulfilled.
