Lately I’ve been reading, thinking, preaching, and teaching about the idea of how we as human beings react in certain situations.  As a leader in ministry, we all have some sort of critics that are critiqueing us or even trying to bring us down with some things we may be doing in our ministry.

I’ve been teaching an Andy Stanley series to my teen’s on Wednesday Nights that just wrapped up last night called “5 Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith”.  It has been very beneficial and I believe the teens are getting something out of it.  Last night (Wednesday) was talkning about Pivotal Circumstances.  These circumstances look so different.  They can be good or bad.  They could be positive or negative.  But the question that needs to be asked is how do we respond in negative or tough situations, especially when we are being “called out” by someone.

Lately, I’ve responded in a poor way.  I’ve let it get the best of me.  I’ve asked “Why me God?”, so on and so forth.

I want to live with a new attitude!  I want to live with the attitude that God will take care of everything.  I want to live with the idea that God will ultimately some day take care of my critics and that anything that I can do means nothing unless God is involved!

Just needed to get that off of my chest!
