Hard times happen … places where our back is against the wall and there seems to be no solution, nowhere to go. When our way has been thwarted or the path seemingly closed. When everything seems impossible and confusing. So, what do we do?

Our great fears regarding anything and everything stem from the thought that we are alone. That we are in over our heads and there is no one to help us. Our inadequacy fuels our discouragement. And it should.

Where do you turn in times of need? In moments of crisis? You could look a thousand places and never find the answer. Or, you could look to one place and Person, God Himself, and find exactly what you need.

If Joseph had resisted God’s sovereign work in his life, he would have died a bitter man. He would have taken revenge against his brothers at his earliest opportunity. He would have been like any other self-absorbed human. And, his life would not have saved millions and taught all of us what a man who follows God fully looks like.
But, he let God be God, orchestrating the events of his life and resting in a faith in God's rightness and inherent goodness. And so should we.

God blesses and uses His people who will embrace His sovereignty over their lives. Such trusting believers do not need to have an answer for why everything happens, but trust God enough to believe that God has a Divine agenda that is good.

If you look closely, there are probably some broken places in your heart where you have never accepted God’s sovereign working and thanked God. There are people that you still need to forgive and release to from your courtroom (where you are judge, jury, and executioner) to God’s courtroom. As you do, you will discover that nothing can really hurt the true, forgiving believer for their God works “all things together for good” for His purposes to conform them to the image of His Son!

God is going to accomplish His purposes and they are all good. There will be huge change in this world as this is accomplished, but the ultimate purposes will be accomplished.
And, in the midst of a changing world, He is present with us and powerful to take care of us.

All of us face some measure of suffering in this life. It could be a physical challenge, a hard ministry task, an overwhelming and perplexing difficulty, a persecution for our faith, a deep burden, or simply the rigors of living a life of determined godliness.
For some, this suffering is more intense. Paul was one of those who faced grave suffering in order to complete the task of the gospel that was entrusted to him. Yet, he was able to face it with courage and even joy. How?

As we live in this fallen world, we encounter all kinds of sinfulness and its effects, both within and without. If we are not mindful, we lose hope as we suffer difficulties and trials. If we lose hope, we quit praying, thinking there is no use. And, if we stop praying, we are not entering into the presence of the only One who can help us.

This God has not changed. He has not lost any strength through the ages. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He can make YOU strong enough for any experience and enemy you face. He can give you sufficient grace for literally anything. There is no demand made upon you that is not made upon the Christ who is within you (if you know Him).
