What To Do When You Hate What’s Happening In The World

10/19/2022

1 Samuel 2:6-8  “The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up. The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the world.”   
  • Things Change
Our scripture text this morning makes one thing evidently clear, God changes things. God changes families. One family experiences death while another family is blessed with life. One person dies while another person is healed.
 
One family is financially poor and has absolutely nothing except a remarkable faith in God. Another family is wealthy and has every convenience known to man yet they are void of knowledge of God. The text says, “The Lord sends poverty and wealth.”
 
What is your situation today? Would you identify with those living in poverty or wealth? You are in one state or the other because God has placed you there. How are you honoring God in your condition is the question that needs to be answered?
  • Life Changes
God uses Life events as a way of changing us. One person is humbled by life while another person is exalted by life.
 
While serving as a minister at Christ’s Church of the Valley in AZ (CCV) I led a group of people to Mexico to build houses on numerous occasions. The house’s dimensions were 11’ x 22’ and they had a concrete floor, flat roof, two windows, one door and the outside was covered with stucco. There was no electricity and no plumbing. The people who received the houses on those weekends had their lives changed and I had my life changed as well. They were exalted with their new houses and I was humbled by seeing their new houses.
  • God Can Change Your Life
When you think it’s all over and nothing is going to change for the good remember this verse “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the world.”  He says it this way in the NASB version: "For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them."
 
If God can lift the earth on its pillars I am pretty sure he can lift your burdens.
 
God can change your life and I hope you will trust Him enough to allow Him to change your life.
 
Think About These:

It is better to appreciate something you have than to have something you can't appreciate.

Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.

Stay Pumped,
