Wisdom from Ben Cross

Remember with the promises of God:
Emotions are unreliable indicators of what is real or true.
If there are conditions, then fulfillment is neither automatic nor guaranteed.
Your perspective of how God works is severely limited.
Delays are designed by a loving father committed to developing your faith and character.
Is anything "hard" for the Lord?
Nothing is too hard/wonderful for the LORD, but perhaps the hard/wonderful thing He will do is to transform us through pain, and not deliver us from it. Ultimately, God's promises to us concern eternal blessing and for us to be conformed to Christ's image. God is willing to sacrifice anything temporal to ensure His eternal purposes for us are realized.
God is getting my soul ready.
As we accept by faith that nothing is too hard for God, we must remember that we do not dictate to Him which "hard" thing He must do- change our circumstances or transform our hearts.
It is all for His glory.
