Dr. Barclay – Something to think about
The bible testifies, what God has done before he will do again.
Life does not seem fair for many people at times. The bible tells us the secret things belong to God and the most secret thing is the future. The bible tells us many things about the future that are exemplified in the past, what God has done before he will do again. Christ came in the past and he will come again. If we study the bible and learn from the past we will understand the future and be ready for it, not with fear but with eager anticipation.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22: 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Message- Times of hardship will cause our christian witness to be stronger and more effective.
James 1:2-5
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
God tests our faith for our own betterment. Let endurance do it’s work producing a perfect result in us. God’s testing will leave us lacking nothing, as our time of trial produces wisdom, strength and courage.
James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
A double minded man is full of restlessness and panic and he cannot get close to God because he is not focused, nor in agreement with God. Christ promises to never leave us nor forsake us. He will be our shield and refuge. With the promises of God at hand, we can cast off all negative thought and dwell on God’s goodness and trust in his faithfulness.
