Happily Ever After?
Psalm 119:71
Stop Running Scared
Psalm 31:6-7
You may be going through a trial so overwhelming that it's borderline unbearable.
You want to see the end of the tunnel. Which is only natural, because once we see that little speck of light, we feel we can make it through to the finish.
But God's tunnels are often twisting, too complex and dark to see the light for many days.
In such settings He says, "In that dark, twisting, seemingly endless period of time, trust Me. Stop running scared! Stop fearing!"
The Difference Makes the Difference
John 13:35
If our message is a mirror image of the message of the world, the world yawns and goes on its way, saying, "What else is new? I've heard all that since I was born." But if the Christian lifestyle and motivation and answers are different, the world cannot help but sit up and take notice, thinking:
How is it that I cannot conquer this habit but he has?
Why is their love so deep and lasting and ours so shallow and fickle?
How is it that she can forgive and never hold a grudge, but I can't get over a wrong?
