Enlargment in Adversity
This verse is one of the greatest testimonies ever written that tells of God’s behind the scenes work during a crisis. The author of the psalm is appreciating, recognizing, and thanking God for freeing him not from suffering but through suffering. By saying, “Thou has...
The Desert
The Bible truly is God’s love letter to us. It’s our learning tool to help us navigate this life; in its pages are lessons learned and examples of the lives of people who have gone before us. “But I will win her back once again. I will lead her into the desert and...
Sovereignty In Raindrops…
Sovereignty. We must really grasp and understand that all of our steps are ordered by the Lord – all of our steps. Sometimes like the disciples, we walk straight into a storm. And yes, Jesus may delay coming to us during our time of distress. This is where we need to cling tightly to the Savior. This happens to test and strengthen our faith. He may not come and deliver us for a long time. But doesn’t the waiting make our prayers more powerful? Doesn’t the waiting make the desire for deliverance stronger? And when it comes, don’t we appreciate it more fully? We tend not to take things for granted anymore. We tend not to be so shallow in certain areas of life. Amen?

God will send you blessings and help, and will reveal truths to you that otherwise would never have come your way. And many others will receive great insights and blessings because you were “locked up.”

Suffering with Faith in God’s Purpose
I'm amazed and know I am blessed beyond measure! I am certain that I would have never made the connections and acquaintances that I have made... if not for Muscular Dystrophy! I would never have partnered with Kent to create "Christians with Disabilities!" It was on...
Extraordinary Adversity
The dreams that Joseph dreamed before all of his troubles started eventually came true. How often do we think our dreams are dead? Our dreams seem to wither and die in the midst of adversity. I have to believe that God will give us our dreams back…and I have to believe than God has prepared an amazing future for each one of His children……
