Going through a hard time? Ask yourself these 3 questions (via James MacDonald)

1. What happened to me?
2. Why am I here on Earth?
3. How can what is happening to me advance the kingdom of God?
Changes your perspective doesn’t it? You can find joy in the midst of any circumstance.
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4
If you are interested in watching the “Passing the Test” message at Church Online, it’s available here this week: http://live.lifechurch.tv/ or you can watch it later in the archived sessions here: http://www.lifechurch.tv/ I loved this one…obviously, or I wouldn’t be blogging about it. 🙂
