A Role to Play

When we read Jesus' genealogy in the 

first Chapter of Matthew,

we see vaguely familiar names from Bible stories,

and some totally forgettable characters.

But it's different with God.

Each one of those people were important to God.

They each had a role to play.

YOU and I are just as important!

We have a role to play in God's wonderful plan!

We may not always understand the plan of God.

Sometimes it is downright confusing,

and faith breaking.

Why did He allow what happened in 

Sandy Hook School?

Why did He allow Typhoon Pablo to ravage 

the Southern part of the Philippines

and kill more than a thousand people?

In Philippians 4:6 it reads:

Have no anxiety at all, but in EVERYTHING,

by prayer and petition,

with THANKSGIVING,

make your requests known to God.

I guess it really boils down to:

Do we trust God?

Even back in the Prophet Elijah's day,

God asked Elijah to trust Him.

It was quite difficult for even the King and his wife

were out to kill Elijah.

But Elijah showed his trust in God by obedience.

Elijah had a role to play and he played it!

Proverbs 4 says:

"Keep your heart with all diligence;

for out of it are the issues of life."

I thought it was time for a
