Pastor Ted Wilson: The Lord Gives Us the Power to Deal with Disappointment for Good

The #Lord will always be with us, but the #Christian walk is not always easy. While there are days when our hearts are full of joy, there are other times when life brings its #challenges and we are not sure what to do. #Disappointments come. Promises are broken. Unwise decisions made. Friends become enemies. Families break up. Churches split. Sometimes situations need to change but you feel powerless to make any difference. Yet, there is good news! As followers of Christ, there is a lot we can do! In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson shares with you 7 action items that you and I can take to bring about significant #change through the Lord's power. 1. We can #pray. God will always hear your prayers. 2. We can be #faithful. Truly, no one has ever regretted being faithful to God, through the power of His grace! 3. We can do good. The Bible tells us very clearly in Romans 12:21, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” 4. We can #love. In 2 Timothy 1:7 we read, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Notice the wonderful promise here—God Himself gives us love, and power, and a sound mind! 5. We can study the #Bible, accepting it as the true Word of God. “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path,” we read in Psalm 119:105. 6. We can uplift #Jesus. Let’s look for ways every day to uplift Jesus in our own lives, and to others. And, number 7. We can wait on the #Lord. The Psalmist tells us in Psalm 27, "I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” (verses 13, 14). When we are connected to Jesus, we are never truly helpless, and no circumstance is truly hopeless. We can always pray. We can be faithful through God’s grace. We can do good. We can love. We can study the Bible, and uplift Jesus. And, we can wait on the Lord. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkr0MCWA2eg
