We are living in a time now where your hope and faith must be in our Father in Heaven!
MAIN POINT: Trusting and worshipping God during difficult times in life. INTRODUCTION: It’s easy to praise God when everything around is going good and everything is in its place. However, it’s in the times when things are not going good or the way we hoped that our love for God “doesn’t come easy.” It can often be difficult to find the words and/or desire to praise Him or worship Him during tough times. THE CLIP: The movie We Were Soldiers follows a group of soldiers who were ambushed by the People’s Army of Vietnam at the very first engagement of the Vietnam War, recording their bravery, fighting and death for many. In the selected deleted scene the soldiers are heading to the battle field (where they will be ambushed), while their wives are back home in America at church on the Army base. |

There are many that may be filled with feelings of anxiety with the state of our nation;Paul, an early church leader, found himself in several situations in his life where things were out-of-his-control and he found himself in serious danger. Look at this passage:
Every day things happen that we can not control, but we must deal with the results. Friends or family going to war, terrorist attacks, car accidents and many more things can happen before we even know it. It’s our reaction to those difficult times that strengthens not only our relationship with God, but who we are as well. While it may not seem easy, worshiping God through our difficult times is an effective way to process and come to an understanding about the out-of-our-control world around us.Commit this week to spending time worshiping God, whether your week is good or bad, by praying to him, singing to him, and/or by reading the Bible. Commit also to turn to Him the next time things are out-of-control and see what a difference it truly makes.
- Acts 16:22-25
The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
