Seeing Our Problems From God's Point of View: Part 2 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

This is PART TWO of “How to Look at Your Trials from God’s Point of View”. In this message we begin by looking at Proverbs 3:5-6, “Proverbs 3:5-6... Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. We take a good look at the treasure that is hidden in the Hebrew word for “direct”. We continue to look at other things you can consider to see your life from God’s viewpoint. We speak about considering the POSSIBILITY that God is allowing your trial to glorify Himself through you. If we Consider the PRODUCTION of maturity in our character, this will also help us to see God’s viewpoint in our trials and circumstances. Trials have a way of getting our attention and what the Lord is trying to teach us. The last principle we address that will help us to see God’s viewpoint in our trials is considering the POSSESSOR of our battles. The battle is the Lord’s. This message was preached on Wednesday night, January 14, 2026, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
