Stop judging stuff that God is not done with yet.

Summary
Main message: God places you in difficult situations for a purpose — when you understand your calling and trust the Father, hardships become instruments rather than weaknesses. Don’t judge your circumstances before God finishes preparing them.
Key points:
- God deliberately places people in hard situations (example: Joseph in prison) as part of a larger purpose.
- Paul’s worship while imprisoned in Philippi demonstrates trusting God’s purpose before deliverance.
- Apparent weaknesses or trials can be God’s tools, not merely defects.
- Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” was allowed so God’s grace would be known sufficient; resist asking for premature removal of trials.
- Stop labeling struggles as mere weaknesses and wait to see God’s intended use for them.
Scriptures mentioned: Genesis (Joseph story), Acts 16:25-26 (Paul in Philippi), 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (thorn in the flesh)
