This morning, Cody came in and shared his testimony. He spoke about how bad things happened to him when he was younger and it made him angry and question his faith. Then when confronted with situations that he perceived worse than his, he understood that he was blessed.
He used Jeremiah 29:11: " For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." and Proverbs 2:5-6: "then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." What Cody explained from both scriptures is that he cannot begin to understand God's ways in all things, but that he gets his understanding from God, not about God.
Students continue to share their lives both good and bad. You cannot help but think that it is drawing them nearer to each other as well as strengthening their faith.
