Smudge's Six Minute Sermon ( 20th March )
Verse of the week (Psalm 71 : v 20)
“Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again”
Message of the week
Last week we talked about pain and why God allows it to exist. It is possible that if pain didn’t exist the human race would have been wiped out long ago. I know it sounds weird but think about it…if there was no pain we wouldn’t know when something was wrong e.g. a disease or emotional ‘gut instinct’. Both of these are useful although unpleasant. Focusing on emotional pain though, “how can that be good pain?” you may ask. It may be a sign that you are not living your life according to God’s will. Depression can allow people to view the world around them with more clarity and hence change there life to more in keeping with God’s wish. So emotional distress can bring about challenge and change. A blessing in disguise!!
Quote of the week
“Pain need not always be regarded as an enemy, it may become our ally in gaining a fuller life”.
Prayer of the week
Gracious Father, help me understand that in your universe you allow only compliments of you. Even in Pain and suffering you have an authentic word to speak to me. Please help me hear it. Amen.
Also pray for…
The ongoing divide within the HMSG, The deliverence of Fester as he misses the CU for the first time in forty-three years.
