Adverse circumstances.[Job 1 ]
Oswald Chambers wrote,/ I am sorry for the Christian who has not something in his circumstances, he wishes was not there,/what is the something in our lives we wish was not there?. The question we may ask, is this not a strange thing to say? the answer is no,why do I say this?, because first of all our God is sovereign, not just of the world in general, but of our individual lives.Every joy or trial falleth from above, traced upon our dial, by the sun of love, so wrote the hymn writer.So is God sovereign or not in our lives?, of course He is, then let us accept His sovereign choice for our lives, let us yield to His sovereign will, for in the words of the hymn writer, /we may trust Him fully, He is to be trusted yes even in those circumstances we wish, where not in our lives.[ Father in heaven grant us the grace to trust You in those circumstances , that we wish where not in our lives in Jesus name we ask this Amen ]

Inclusion or Exclusion
Some people have an Idea that God is inclusive for mans eternal destiny, that all religions and all people will be saved. That God will allow all of mankind to enter into heaven because everybody is good so God must be fair and include everyone! It is true God does love the whole world but God is exclusive about mans eternal destiny without the Savior. To keep this simple man has a problem called sin in which man refuses to believe that there are eternal consequences for having sin, which is a one way ticket to hell. God is holy and he will not allow anyone with sin to enter into heaven. God is hurt and angry about our sin, we have broken his laws. But God is just and good and he knows our need so he provided a solution to our problem. His solution to our problem is to have our sins removed by having our sins placed on someone else, a sacrifice for us; paying for the penalty of the sin we have in our lives. So that someone else would get the penalty of Gods wrath and separation on him that was meant for us. So God sent his son Jesus on a mission from heaven to earth as our sacrifice to die on the cross on our behalf after this happened three days later Jesus came back from the dead, alive. But that’s not all remember I wrote that God is exclusive about mans eternal destiny without the Savior? The only way that Gods promise can be applied to your life is for you to turn from your way of thinking and know that your sin offends and hurts God and call on the Lord Jesus who’s alive to save you. Your sins are then transferred to Jesus for what he did at the cross, dying and being abandon by God because of your sins, for you and because Jesus arose from the dead he is alive you can now enter into a relationship with God. Will you call out to Jesus to save you? It’s your choice to enter in exclusively with God’s grace for you. Where will you want to spend eternity after hearing Gods promise for you?
If the answer was yes that you do want Jesus as your sin bearer, Savior, and you do believe God raised Jesus from the dead you can pray with your voice.
“Dear Lord Jesus save me.”
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
