We have learned or been reminded of several truths in the last few weeks:
God sees everything you are going through
We have to also consider the truth that, not only does God see everything that we are going through, but also, God directs everything that we go through
I. Finding understanding in the sovereignty of God in the midst of trials (Psa 71:20)
To begin to find hope you must understand the sovereignty of God in relation to your trials
God’s grace does not primarily keep you from trials or deliver you immediately from them. God’s grace has the primary purpose of strengthening His children
See example in Peter’s life: John 21:18-22
II. Finding faith and hope in the sovereignty of God in the midst of trials (Psa 71:5, 6)
Our faith is in who God is and what He can do, not in what He will do
