SHOW NOTES:
In Podcast Episode 277, “Is ‘Trouble’ Really a Tool in the Lord’s Toolbox?“ Kim discusses the ways in which the Lord uses trouble in the lives of His followers, as well as those who are yet to turn to Him. Our loving God, who has all wisdom, all power, and is perfect love, will use any means necessary to have and grow relationships with those He created. Trouble is one of the tools He has in His divine toolbox, and as we see in our lesson today, He will use it with His purposes in mind.
Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 15:1-7 with verse 6 as the focal verse:
6 Nation fought against nation, and city against city, for God was troubling them with every kind of problem.
WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:
God’s Word says He disciplines those He loves. In what forms of trouble has God used to draw you to Him?
Additional Resources and Scriptures:
- 5 And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said, “My child, don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and don’t give up when he corrects you. 6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.” 7 As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? (Hebrews 12:5-7) - TWITTER - https://twitter.com/EOinLovingJesus
