Blessings Behind Bars: Turning A Bummer Into A Blessing

The Stoics have often said that we can’t control the outcome of what happens to us, but we can control our response to what happens to us. In many ways, this is what we learn in Scripture. But today, we’ll see that God takes it a step further. Not only does God help us respond to life’s difficulties, but God creates new purposes through our difficulties. He alone can turn a bummer and make it into a blessing!
