Courage in the Midst of Distress

God is good and life is difficult. The life of faith is lived between these two realities.
Many times in our own lives, we reflect the hard truth of that statement in whatever distressful situation we may find ourselves. Whether it is the loss of a loved one and the grief is overwhelming, children or grandchildren gone astray, broken relationships, illness and the dreaded news that it is terminal, a financial earthquake that rattles our being into shambles, or our recruitment into a spiritual battle, we need courage. We need hope. We need God.

God’s Sovereignty Reigns

Picture yourself in this situation: You have been working for someone most of your life, your boss has been extremely cruel, your wages have been barely at subsistence level, and you feel downtrodden and oppressed. For all practical purposes, you are nothing more than a slave.
