We all have our breaking points - the limits of what we feel like we can handle. Sometimes we find ourselves at an emotional or even spiritual breaking point because of consequences to our own choices. But sometimes we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed and pushed to our limit, and we have done nothing to deserve it. What do I do when I'm overwhelmed by circumstances beyond my control...especially when I've done nothing wrong?
Many of us have experienced times in our lives when we felt overwhelmed, stretched to our limit, about to break. Busy schedules, financial burdens, relationship problems, faith struggles…or maybe a combination of these…can push us to our breaking point. For the next few weeks at Flagstone we’re going to look at different characters from scripture who didn’t think they could take it anymore, and we’re going to discover that, when we are at our breaking point, we can actually experience a breakthrough.
