This week's "Reflection" by Matt Sasso, Pastor of Jr. High MinistriesThis week as we looked at a portion of Elijah’s life we learned that ups and downs are inevitable. Elijah is an example of one individual who experienced God not only in good times, but also times of despair. We have all experienced times on life’s roller coaster where we feel as if God could never be closer, but we also experience the fear as we go through the tunnels of despair. This week I would like to challenge you to see the places that God is leading you through and remember that He is the true source of authority in our lives. As you do, remember that we can’t live on mountain top experiences. We would love to hear where God has been leading you. Feel free to post by clicking the link below.
Great job, Matt! It is a comfort to know that even the great profits of the bible had their ups and downs with God. The main point of the sermon was to "Trust" Him. We can not always see what is coming next in our lives and it is hard to trust the unknowns in life. But God does have a plan and purpose for us.
