James, the leader in Jerusalem, faced a world turned upside down. His message offers God's answer and resource for anyone facing crisis today. The principle = “Don’t ask why, ask what.” Three “what” questions survivors ask: 1. What can I control when my world falls apart? 2. What must I do to make it through today? 3. What hope do I have for tomorrow? The answer = God’s sovereignty + goodness = He will take my worst circumstances and use them for my best if I will trust Him and not bail out of His spiritual maturity process. I. The problem: sometimes we get “stuck” in our pain. II. The solution: God promises help for those who are “stuck.” -Jas. 1:5-8 III. The one condition: We receive God’s wisdom only when we “ask in faith, without any doubting.” Conclusion: Four things you must do to get unstuck 1. Admit you’re stuck 2. Admit you can’t do it on your own 3. Ask God for supernatural wisdom 4.

Hope sustains the soul when all falls apart. Find hope to make it through difficult times. 3 Observations about life in a fallen world 1. Trials are inevitable 2. Trials tend to “make us” or “break us” 3. Victims fail to move beyond asking “why” and remain stuck in their pain A word from God to those whose world is “falling apart.” -James 1:1-4 1. What can I control? -My ATTITUDE 2. What must I do to make it through today? -ENDURE 3. What hope do I have for tomorrow? -God will take the WORST and use it for my BEST How God uses adversity to mature us 1. We're forced to DEPEND on God at a new level. Left alone, we're self-sufficient, proud, and insensitive to Him. 2. We're WEANED from the temporal, urgent, and worldly affairs of life. We're forced to REEXAMINE our values, priorities, commitments, and future. 3. Trials let us WITNESS God's reality and power first-hand. Our need becomes the vehicle of His grace; our problems the object of His power. 4. They serve as a TESTIMONY to the unbelieving world. How we endure hardship shows the world how real God is. 5. We become sensitive, caring, and compassionate CHRIST-LIKE people. Those hurt deeply tend to love deeply.
