Why Me?Why this? Why now? Why me?All of us have asked these
questions at times. And they seem to come most readily when
something goes wrong in our lives. When we lose a job, break off a
relationship, or hear bad news from the doctor; it's only natural
to wonder if life has any rhyme or reason.Fortunately, Paul has a
response to our why. He says that "in all things" God works for the
good of those who love him (Romans 8:28). Paul doesn't say "in all
things." That means God will use difficulties in your life to
accomplish something good. Can you see what the end result is?
Perhaps not right away, but you might be able to at a late date.So
what do you do in the meantime? Trust that because you know God, he
will fit every piece of your life's puzzle together to form a
beautiful picture. Memorize Romans 8:28 if you haven't done so
before. Then take time to carefully read this entire chapter. To
me, it's one of the most comforting passages in the Bible.One of
the great gifts God gives believers is a loving family-God's
family, the church. Yet like any family, we as church members
sometimes need to be reminded how to properly treat each other.
With that in mind, Paul gives special instruction on how believers
are treated, in particular younger or older members. His
exhortation is that we treat all members with courtesy, respect,
gentleness, and absolute purity as we spur them on to full
participation in church life.Consider Paul's words and evaluate how
you regard all the members. Determine to express to them the same
kindness you would want others to show your own mother, father,
brother, or sister.
