How you know God's ways work | 2024-09-04T16:20:48.289Z | Andrew | true | default |
A simple way to know if something works is to try it out. If [thing or activity] does not work, you'll know. Now then, consider the ways of God. Specifically the ways of Love as told in 1 Corinthians 13.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 (NASB) says
4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. 5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, 6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
I am going to walk you through some of the things here. I'm going to start with patience.
Patience
When you have patience, what might that look like?
Waiting on someone or something.
It may also practically look like waiting for yourself to make a big decision. It may also look like enduring a screaming kid or unpleasant words.
Whatever it looks like, it involves waiting for something.
Let's move on to kind.
