24 May From Here (How to turn your Setback into a Comeback) part 24

Posted at 01:40h in Uncategorized by

For the past several weeks we have been sharing our key verse for this series from I Thessalonians 5:16, “Rejoice evermore.”  In this short but powerful Scripture, we discovered the Greek word translated “evermore” literally means “from this point on”.  In everyday language, it means “from here”.  

Before we jump into new territory let’s review our “13 Facets to Live a Constructive Life”:

  1. Part from Pity (Phil. 2:14).  
  2. Never let your tragedy become your identity (Mark 5:26). 
  3. You can’t unscramble eggs (Eph. 5:16).
  4. What we know is always more important than how we feel (Eph. 6:13-14).
  5. Never let go of what you do know because of what you don’t know (Matt. 11:5-6).
  6. Never compound bad decisions with more bad decisions (Rom. 6:19).  
  7. Life is not about “What ifs” but “What now?”  (II Sam. 12:18-24).
  8. Learn to Fail Forward (Phil. 3:13-14).  
  9. Get back into motion (Ps. 126:6).  

Last week we began sharing with you “5 Motion Mandates”:

  1. Don’t substitute busyness for healing (Matt. 14:12-14).  

This week we continue with…

2. You can be on the right track and still get run over…if you’re just sitting there!

      3. Learn to trust God and leave unanswered questions behind (Ps. 37:3).  

This short but powerful verse tells us, “Trust in the Lord and do good.”  Many times life happens and we don’t presently understand all the answers.  Here in this verse God is telling us, “Trust in the Lord” and in the meantime just simply do good.  In other words, trust in the Lord and get your mind off yourself.  Trust in the Lord and get back into motion.  Trust in the Lord and go from here!  

Remember this:  Never let go of what you DO know because of what you don’t know.

Join us next week as we continue with this series…From Here!
