God is Enough


"We don’t realize that God is all we need until God is all we’ve got."

Bad things happen to good people. All the time. Why?

I don’t know, but I believe the essence of faith is trusting God with all mystery and unanswered questions. I also believe that he is very interested in what happens to you, but I think he is even more interested in what you become as a result.

God is redemptive, working in the bad to make good, to make you better not bitter. That requires faith and a certain mind-set.

A long time ago, Paul said this (2 Cor. 1):

. . .We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

As this week unfolds, no matter what’s going on or what happens, we have a God who loves us and wants us to rely on his resurrection power. Wow!

Stay focused and encouraged!
