Bullets for the Battle

The Bullet of Creative Circumstances: God at Work!
Part 2 of 4

It is at the point of changing oneself by using the circumstances creatively and constructively that the meaning of God’s purpose for one’s life should become clear! Those of us who have embraced Jesus Christ as our authority are called upon to put negative circumstances into proper focus. The ultimate purpose God has for each of us is to recreate us like Himself. The goal of life is to become like Christ (Romans 8:29). All other values are secondary to this purpose from the mature Christian’s point of view. Most human misery is caused because people devote their years and energies to inadequate goals of existence!

Now how does God create His character in us? Simple! He continually seeks to teach us to use our problems creatively. Illustration …. A football player who is having problems learning to block isn’t assigned extra passing drills by the coach! He works on blocking. A conductor who notes that the French Horns are playing one section poorly doesn’t work them extra hard on another portion they are playing right. He works them where they are weak!
