Key Bible Verse: Don’t fight the ways of God, for who can straighten out what he has made crooked? (Ecclesiastes 7:13). Bonus Reading: 2 Corinthians 12:7b-10
Is God really in control? Is he trustworthy? Will he help? While working on this book, I suffered a physical ailment that exacerbated a lifelong infirmity. The timing was very inconvenient and, for several weeks, would respond to no medical treatment.
During those weeks, as I continually prayed to God for relief, I was reminded of Solomon’s words [in today’s Key Bible Verse]. God had brought a “crooked” event into my life, and I became acutely aware that only he could straighten it. Could I trust God whether or not he straightened my “crook” and relieved my distress? Did I really believe that a God who loved me and knew what was best for me was in control of my situation? Could I trust him even if I didn’t understand?
Trusting God is worked out in an arena that has no boundaries. We don’t know the extent, the duration, or the frequency of the painful, adverse circumstances in which we must frequently trust God. We’re always coping with the unknown.
When we fail to trust God, we doubt his sovereignty and question his goodness. In order to trust God, we must always view our adverse circumstances through the eyes of faith, not of sense.

My Response: Right now, I need “eyes of faith” to help me deal with …
Thought to Apply: Faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse. —Philip Yancey (author)

Hello.This article was really remarkable, particularly because I was investigating for thoughts on this subject last Sunday.
Why are there no far extra this type of weblogs? Your articles are superb and come in themes, which can not be observed everywhere. Be sure you go on writing such excellent material, it truly is genuinely beneficial. The world wide net is total of outstanding waste, as 1 is subject material when you find a single thing else. Why aren’t there significantly far more? Tend not to leave me hanging!
file ideas and it really Many blog if I promise to particularly planning to check back
buddy: Perhaps. It wasn’t solely the concept of Santa that got me through, however it was the brilliant Christmas events that my Lola (grandma) threw and how much enjoyable I had partying with my cousins. (Oh yeah, to not point out the presents.) Also, I really do not think omitting Santa would make Xmas less magical.
Although a lot of free designs look outstanding, but they don’t have under the hood options of paid themes. Almost all paid designs will create options screen in your WordPress back office that is unique to that theme. All these control panels can make functions like logo upload, favicon upload and different design features a snap.
