6. II. The Two Baskets Filled With Figs, 1a, 2-10
Lessons
The Lord is sovereign. You may ask.
We see things as good and bad relative to our circumstances at the time.
If something seems ‘bad’, in time you may eventually see the ‘good’. There are ‘bad’ things that happen to ‘good’ people.
Decisions you make fit within the sovereign purposes of the Lord.
Not all things work together for good for all people.
The Lord’s ways and thinking are not like yours.
What does your heart say? Do you have a heart to know Him? Is the Lord drawing you to Him? Are you taken captive or left behind?
