Problems
Question for everyone
What are you worried about?
Who will suffer the consequences of the thing you’re worried about?
It’s mostly about what will effect us.
Plough through
Paul’s burden and despair, things don’t always go well-
Sometimes we have to “plough through”, a good skill to develop in our youth:
What is a yoke?
Explain Yoke - placed on the shoulders of the beasts of burden, also, look earlier in lamentations
The root cause of our difficulties - we live in a fallen world surrounded by sin, some of that sin is our own.
Perspective
Don’t put off learning how to handle difficulties - instead the solution is ‘Remember your Creator’.
We won’t escape suffering, Jesus told us so:
Look what happened to Paul:
But we can see the bigger picture like Paul:
What is seen?
Paul’s suffering and all the shortcomings of this present age
What is unseen?
the full restoration of all things at the resurrection to come, and the sure fulfillment of God’s purposes for history
It’s all about our perspective, there’s more to our lives than our current problems.
What are some of the current problems affecting our world?
Starvation, poverty, politics, etc.
Our problems are small in comparison to those!
Paul is thinking bigger though:
Our problems are tiny compared to what is coming, what Christ has done for us
Jesus has already defeated our problems - he has conquered sin and is restoring our fallen world.
In it together
If we are capable of carrying our own load we can help each other carry our loads -
Remember Paul’s burden, look how he handled it - the full story.
Close in prayer for our fallen world and each other
