The Wrong Measuring Stick

Philippians 1:12-18
Have you ever heard the story of the man who decided to obey God completely? He assumed that as a result of his conviction and his determination, everything in his life was going to go more smoothly. And when things went well for him, said to himself, “This proves that we’re in God’s will.” The problem was, about two weeks later, his wife lost her job and they ran into financial difficulties. The man concluded, “Apparently my wife has not been obeying God the way she should have. She must be out of God’s will.”
