COT
Moleskin: Excellent work by the pax, especially our new FNG who kept up great. Welcome Scrubs! (Medical student of Jar Jar’s Matthew Pascual. University of Florida stuff considered, but HeeHaw’s charisma and logic were unimpeachable).
Announcements: Mud Run signups, do it now. Woodshed passed off the shovel flag to Odyssey today, congratulate him and thank Silver Bullet for his hard work.
Devo:
2 Chron 16:12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but sought help from physicians.
Many of us have dealt or will deal with significant injuries or illness, and will have them occur in our loved ones as well. Asa did not handle his well. How you deal with them matters, and God is sovereign over even these struggles. He uses them for several purposes.
1. Suffering produces intimacy with God (Job 42:5)
2.Suffering equips us to comfort others (2 Cor 1:3-5)
3. Suffering refines us (Is 48:10)
4. Suffering produces growth and maturity (James 1:2-4)
5. Suffering conforms us into God’s image (Romans 8:28-29)
6. Suffering can increase our trust in Him (see above)
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor 12:9)
God did not abandon Jesus, even on the cross, but raised Him up, and used his suffering for a great purpose. Does he not love you the same?
