Salvaged By God

God has a silver cup, and He can place it in our lives to open our eyes when we've walked away from Him. Like Joseph testing his brothers, God knows exactly when and how to speak to our hearts. The best thing we can do with sin is to hate it, reject it, and confess it to Him.

God can even use the devil to work out good things in our lives. When life closes in on you, remember this: if you belong to Jesus, God is behind every circumstance you face. It had to pass across his desk and receive his approval before it came to you—if you love him and are saved by him.

Creation groans, Christians groan, and the Holy Spirit groans with us. The spirit life requires diligence—steady, earnest effort that's the opposite of giving up. We need the Holy Spirit's help to survive when we come face-to-face with our sinfulness. But remember: we will persevere; we win.
