Trusting God in Times of Trouble-C. Hopson

All of these say that God has made a mistake or He isn't
powerful enough to help me forgive or honor Him in my circumstances.
These are sinful choices and must be confessed
before we can have a clean heart that is ready for God to
use. "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate
the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise
the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [man]"
(Matthew 6:24). In order to trust God in troubled times, we
must be willing to empty the rotten contents of our self-centered
life and accept the "new life" God offers us.
In his book A Gentle Thunder, Max Lucado writes:
Here is (dare I say it?) the greatest miracle of God. It
is astounding when God heals the body. It is extraordinary
when God hears the prayer. It is incredible
when God provides the new job, the new car, the new
child. But none of these compares to when God creates
new life.
At our new birth God remakes our souls and gives us
what we need, again. New eyes so we can see by faith.
A new mind so we can have the mind of Christ. New
strength so we won't grow tired. A new vision so we
won't lose heart. A new voice for praise and new
hands for service. And most of all, a new heart. A
heart that has been cleansed by Christ.
And, oh, how we need it. We have soiled what he gave
us the first time. We have used our eyes to see impurity, our
hands to give pain, our feet to walk the wrong path, our
minds to think evil thoughts. All of us need to be made new
again.
