What about you? Questions to ponder or journal: Problems! If you are like most of us, you have a few, maybe a lot! Are you in distress? Are you tempted with fear, anxiety, or discouragement? What are you looking to for the answers? To God or to the world? In what or whom are you placing your trust? How might God be using those problems in your life? “God is good” (Ps. 136.1) and He always “causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8.28). And Romans 8.29 gives us a glimpse into what that overall “good” is, “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son …” Whatever problems God allows us to experience He is using them to grow and mature us and cause us to become more like His Son. So what are you struggling with today and what might God be doing in your life? What characteristic of the fruit of the Spirit is He developing? love? joy? peace? patience? kindness? goodness? faithfulness? gentleness? self-control? (Gal. 5.22-23).
