Do we make our circumstances bigger then God?

We want to thank all of you for being with us tonight. As you know from last week's show, Wild Bill forgot that when he called in to share a clip that his mic was live.  Ooops, sorry!  He was trying to do a smaller version of the show without anybody working the sound board while he was at work.  We all heard how that worked out!  Life happens!  Situations come up, family, health, relationships, jobs, church, our thoughts, and last but not least our finances.  When you start living for God, it sometimes appears that these situations are magnified.  Sometimes  people around you try to judge your walk with God based on your current circumstances.  This can hurt, and even make you question yourself!  They say things like 'how is that living for God thing working out for you?"   Or, "I thought you were a christian!"  Sometimes situations show us just how much of our old nature is ingrained in us, and we can fall back into sinful habits.  Then satan will put the thought in your mind and you will possibly hear from others that 'you might as well quit because you are nothing but a hypocrite'.  You can find yourself asking, 'is living for God worth it', if you are not careful during these times!  We can allow situations to be bigger than God by how we put them together. 

   We want to share some scripture with you that can help you understand the application of God to your situations.  We know that you've heard these scriptures before, but I ask you to open up your heart and mind to our thoughts on this topic. Raise your antenna toward God and really listen to how these biblical applications can change your perspective. And we want any input that you might want to share with us tonight!
