Romans 8:26-30
This past week has been interesting in many ways. We all have seen the news about the spread of the corona virus and then how governments around the world are trying to protect their citizens. To me what is even more interesting is the general response of fear that seems to highlight many conversations. However, have you noticed the few people on the news that have survived the virus? They openly share their experience in order to provide hope and encouragement to the rest of us. That is a picture of what God wants to do through our lives. He wants to change us through our life experiences and use us to communicate the cure and hope that we have found in Jesus. God uses all of our life situations to challenge, change and conform us to be more like Christ. This process is called sanctification and God wants us to trust Him to work out all things according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). He is there to help us pray when we can’t pray (26-27) and work out the process of our growth and conformity (28-30). This week let the world see Jesus in you not the fear of a virus in you.
