Things I’ve Learned

I attended a music conference this week that was just phenomenal. But in one lesson we were hounded on the fact that God cares more about our character than our craft. God cares more about developing my character than me doing things for Him.But there is only one way that He develops character. This is through trials and tribulations (Rom 5:3-5). So instead of asking God to get me out of the situation, I am to ask God to reveal to me the character that He is either wanting to get rid of or trying to develop.So here is what God is teaching Rachel and I:

1. To be totally reliant on the Lord through the good times and the bad.
2. To do what is right no matter what the consequences may be.
3. Never say anything that you don’t want to have repeated.
4. Withhold my emotions to find out what really is going on. Don’t react on my emotions.
5. Putting people down is only trying to make you look bigger. Putting people down is the outward sign of pride. God resists the proud.
6. God is omnipresent. He knows what is going on. Problems do not catch Him off guard. Problems were allowed to happen.

What things have you guys learned through your trials?
