Trusting God Even When Life Hurts

Why is it easier to obey God than to trust him? Because obeying God makes sense to us. In most cases his laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don't want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. When unexpected situations arise that appear unjust, irrational, or even dreadful, we feel confused and frustrated. Before long we begin to doubt God's concern for us or his control over our lives. In an effort to strengthen his own trust in God during a time of adversity, author Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study searching God's sovereignty. The revelations changed his life. As you begin to explore the scope of God's power over nations, nature, and the detailed lives of individuals, you'll begin to acknowledge his loving control. And as you come to know him better, you'll find yourself trusting him more completely, even when life hurts. - Publisher.
