Maybe being part of this organization has the
potential to bring other things that you may have never thought possible.
This is lesson two of a Four Part Series exploring the
benefits of justification in the believer’s life.
Rom
5:3-5 KJVR And
not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation
worketh patience; (4) And
patience, experience; and experience, hope: (5) And
hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
In today’s world everyone wants a position with an
organization where the boss takes notice of you and invests in your development
and growth. So let’s look at God’s
professional development program. Paul tells
us in verse three that we should glory in our trying experiences. We don’t glory in the present discomfort but
in the eventual results. Only God’s
professional development plan can have Joy coexist with affliction.
Tribulation
works patience and patience experience.
This is another way of saying we are to persevere. Do seals of approval mean anything to
you? You might see UL listed on items
you buy. This means Under Writers has
approved these items. What about USDA on
meats you purchase or the Good housekeeping seal. When we are in the mist of our trials and we look
to Him to work out his purpose he is pleased. You might say, He gives us His
Good Endurance Seal of Approval.
It
doesn’t stop there, God approval gives us hope and confidence that he will
continue to work in our lives. Our Hope
will never be disappointed. We know this
because the Love of God is in our hearts. We have been given the Holy Spirit.
Who
else but God could work out such a growth and development plan?
Next
week we will look at Continuing Status.
