June 8, 2019 Rick Warren Daily Hope Devotional : Topic - When Setbacks Come, Don’t Get Bitter—Get the Big Picture

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

“I was born with nothing, and I will die with nothing. The LORD gave, and now he has taken away. May his name be praised!” (Job 1:21 GNT).

When you hit a setback, it’s okay to tell God you’re mad, you’re sad, or you’re depressed. It’s okay to express all your emotions to God.
Just don’t get bitter.
Bitterness is saying you don’t trust God when troubles hit. It’s like a poison that will tear your life apart if you let it.
Job endured all kinds of problems. He lost his family, his fortune, and his health. But instead of becoming bitter, he kept his focus on the big picture.
Job says, “I was born with nothing, and I will die with nothing. The Lord gave, and now he has taken away. May his name be praised!” (Job 1:21 GNT).Job understood that God was still in control even though everything else seemed to be falling apart.
I was there when each of my three children was born. They didn’t come with anything. They didn’t have toys, a portfolio, a wardrobe, or a briefcase. I’ve also preached enough funerals to know that no one drives a trailer of possessions to the graveside.
You come with nothing. You leave with nothing.
When setbacks come your way—and they most certainly will come—you must focus on the fact that God has your big picture in mind. Many things will change in your life. Your faith will be tested and tried.
Like Job, you haven’t been promised a perfect life. You likely won’t get an explanation when setbacks come. But you can choose to trust God anyway. No matter what setbacks you face, trust that:
  • God will never stop loving you.
  • God has a plan for your life.
  • God cares about every detail of your life.
  • God is in control of things even when you don’t understand it.
  • God will protect you.
Regardless of the setback, that’s the big picture about your life. You can base your life on these five truths when everything else falls apart.
You won’t get bitter if you keep your eyes on a big picture like that.
