Guest speaker Joy Gascoigne spoke from 1 Kings 17 today about how to react when things don’t go our way (or the way we think they should.) We need to try to get a grasp of the bigger picture in such circumstances, understanding that God’s delays and the inconveniences which sometimes trip us up can actually be used by Him for His glory.
God is good both in the light and in the dark, in the good and in the bad. His goodness is unaffected by our circumstances, but so often we struggle to believe this when life is difficult. Elijah found himself in difficult circumstances because of the drought and famine he had prophesied on God’s command, but God’s goodness led to HIs provision for him.
God is faithful and utterly reliable in all situations. He provided through different means for Elijah and helped him through the difficulties. When we are struggling, we can be sure that God is with us and will help us.
