Some of the most stressful times come when life doesn’t go as planned. When you get trapped in circumstances you can’t control or you don’t know how you are going to be able to move forward you can either shut down or keep persevering. In the Philippians 1:12-19 we see how the apostle Paul got stuck chained in prison when he expected to be traveling around proclaiming Jesus and establishing new churches. As we read Paul’s story we can see how God was working out his plan in the midst of Paul’s troubles and trials. Come to Emmanuel Church this Sunday and be encouraged to follow and trust the Lord even when life gets difficult.
