Lessons with Andy (19th October)
Topic: On uncertainty and the Christian perspective on how to seek comfort
Verse: Romans 8:26-28, James 4:13-15
26 - Holy Spirit helps in our infirmities (weaknesses), helps verbalise our feelings into words, 28 - rephrase "according to His purpose " as "followers of Christianity"
The Conviction of the Christian is that good will come out of those who follow God. God puts things into place in His own time.
My personal concern is time. It's taking longer than expected, so that where the uncertainty sets in.
To trust in God's plan as our lives are just a tidy dot in the grander scheme of things. To transfer the confidence from myself, onto God, and to depend on God's capability.
This is a change in mindset to place the faith in God instead of yourself. It seems that once the "task" is done that Christians will move on, and not dwell on how the task went (like worrying how the job interview went). They just move on once it's over.
It's how to let go. Giving control rather than taking control.
