Things seem to be going the wrong way for Paul. But “I have faith in God” he says. Faith allows us to think beyond our own human reasoning.
1. Faith moves from Reason to Revelation
What if right now God is trying to move us as the American church into a fresh revelation of who He is?
Both fear and faith ask you and I to believe in something that you cannot see. Many times it doesn’t matter WHY. It matters WHO. That’s the place of revelation.
People will assign purpose to your situations for you. But people are fickle.
2. Faith Moves from Misery to Mission
Generally, as people, when looking back, we remember the peaks and the valleys. The really good and the really bad. Don’t be too quick to judge your ‘Malta’—2020. We get stuck in our Malta, because we don’t know where it ends. But God does.
3. Faith Moves from Pain to Provision
Maybe you thought this was the WORST shipwreck of your life, but God was positioning you for a revival. My faith is not gonna allow me to be a victim in Malta, but a victor.
