Testing Our Convictions

By Paul J. Bucknell

Part #3
EVALUATION AND SUMMARY

The profit from this exercise comes from applying the lessons to our lives. We need to remember that each event becomes testing ground for our deep down convictions. They reveal weaknesses just as a balloon does. A balloon when it is being blown up will pop at its weakest point. These significant events in our lives speak volumes in the way we relate to others, make decisions, and live according to God's standards.

Go over the three sheets and especially review the questions at the bottom.

We look at our successes to encourage us along the way and see God's greater design in our lives even through our failures. We need to thank God for keeping us from getting in even worse circumstances then we are now. List three good changes you have in your life to give thanks to God. Keeping humble enables us to keep making the right decisions as in the past.
