Testing from the Lord

I gave this message 3/28/10 at my husband's cousin's church. This is the powerpoint presentation. I would just like to share it to my blog readers.

Usually we react to testing with fear, grief, anger, or bitterness. Instead we should face the testing knowing that it will produce perseverance and maturity in us. Every trial is an opportunity to trust God. His grace is enough for us. His power is made perfect in our weakness. Let us remember, the Lord is our Shepherd in the quiet waters and in the dark valleys. The Lord is always good even if our circumstances our not, because His goodness is part of His character.
