Sledging on binbags
Me and my mum went to this really steep hill place with our sledge.
We had this sledge from when we used to live in Sandhurst. My mum used to pull us to nursery in it.
But because it rarely snows in Weymouth, not many people have sledges.
We live by the sea, so you're more likely to have surfboards, kayaks and rubber rings than sledges and snow-appropriate-shoes.
British ingenuity never fails.
We saw people 'sledging' down that hill on their surfboards, kayaks and rubber rings ... bin bags ... tea trays ... pieces of cardboard ...
Judges 6:7
When the Israelites cried out to the LORD because of Midian
The Israelite people were oppressed by the Midianites. They cried out to God for help.
God answered. He helped them.
God's priority is our relationship with him.
He can and will use any situation to draw us closer to him.
If we allow him, trust him, call out to him.
Using a bin bag as a sledge doesn't make it less of a bin bag.
More importantly - you aren't to blame for the rubbish that it was intended to carry.
God using bad situations for good doesn't devalue, overlook, forget the pain of those situations.
And it doesn't make him to blame for them.
He turns our sorrow to joy.
He embraces us in our sadness.
He teaches us how to dance again.
He guides us to use our bin bags to fly down hills.
Romans 8:28
God works all things together for the good of those who love him and and have been called by him.
