Tough Times

Scripture: 17Jesus looked directly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: " 'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone[a]'[b]?

Luke 20:17

Observation: Of course – this is talking about Jesus being God’s plan for salvation and how we should build everything on Jesus (our foundation). But right now, this is speaking to me in my life. I feel like a stone that has been set aside at some point in my life and now I am being put in leadership situations. It’s a struggle. I can’t imagine what Christ went through. He was rejected and hated and all he stood for was love.

Application: Remember that God is going to allow us to go through certain things in our lives. He can use the worst of situations to reveal some really cool stuff to us!

Prayer: God – thank You for allowing me to go through tough times. It only makes my faith stronger in the end. When I get on the other side of something that I know I can’t do, I only have You to praise!
