Normally by Thursday night, I have a good idea of how I'll present Sunday's lesson. But as I'm typing this blog post, my thought well is dry.
It's left me aggravated, irritated, upset, annoyed, disturbed, bothered, perturbed, and downright discouraged.
That ever happen to you?
Life hands you lemons. You know you're supposed to make lemonade. But someone has hidden the pitcher, sugar, and stirring spoon. What do you do then?
This Sunday at 9:50 a.m., we'll look at what Jeremiah did when he was in a pickle.
Here's how the Coleman's Notes describe our lesson: "Jeremiah was in a difficult situation. He had been seized and beaten and fastened in the stocks by the captain of the temple police. The humiliation and suffering that resulted from this brutal treatment led to one of Jeremiah's bitterest and saddest complaints. But his invincible faith in God continued to shine through the darkness."
The title of our lesson is "Rise Above Discouragement". Our scripture passage is Jeremiah 20:1-13. Read the story. Listen to the choice words Jeremiah has for God. Jeremiah really lets Him have it.
You ever been angry with God? If so, welcome to the club.
Let's meet Sunday morning (9:50 a.m.) to see how we are supposed to handle frustration.
Finish Friday strong. Enjoy Saturday with your family. See you Sunday!
Loyally yours,
Darren Bayne
