The Big Idea: Pain is inherently productive, and you get to decide what it produces. James 1:1-18 (p. 1043) Seven Things God is Saying In Your Pain: 1. Let me grow you STRONG and MATURE. 2. Let me give you WISDOM. 3. Learn the secret of FOCUS. 4. Find confidence in your WEAKNESS. - 2 Corinthians 12:9 (p. 999) 5. Your CROWN is coming. 6. Defeat the temptation to BLAME ME. 7. Feel my PRESENCE in your pain, and walk with me to GOOD THINGS. Change your question from “WHY?” to “WHO?” When the Devil thinks he’s got you crushed, the Lord is preparing a table so you can FEAST in his FACE. Psalm 42:5 (p. 484) Psalm 23:5 (p.473) Romans 8:37-39 (p. 972)
