When the Unexpected Happens
Three outcomes:
- Disappointment
- Discouragement
- Depression
The decisions we make when life brings us brokenness will determine our path, not our feelings.
Decisions I will Make…
• I will chase Truth
The Bible is not a point of reference, it is the only guide of our lives
(Psalm 119:50 NLT) Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles.
• I will chase Joy
(James 1:2) Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
• I will chase Relationships
Relationships help us with perspective and resources
• I will chase Service
(Hebrews 12:1b-2) And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
• I will chase Faith
(Romans 1:17 NLT) This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
