We can rely on God and rest in His providence knowing that he is working out the salvation of His people when...
1. Life falls apart at the seams. (4:1-3)
2. People that we love just don't understand. (4:4-5)
3. Taking a stand may bring persecution. (4:6-9)
4. Doing the right thing is more than we can handle. (4:10-14)
5. Our only hope for deliverance is God. (4:15-17)
