Considering all we are going through in the world, in this country, and in our very own community, I thought this was very helpful. I read it last week, and it gave me peace. I pray it does the same for you.
“We need to hear that God is still in control. We need to hear that it’s not over until He says so. We need to hear that life’s mishaps and tragedies are not a reason to bail out. They are simply a reason to sit tight.
Corrie ten Boom used to say, “When the train goes in the tunnel and the world gets dark, do you jump out? Of course not. You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through.”
The way to deal with discouragement? The cure for disappointment? Go back and read the story of God. Read it again and again. Be reminded that you aren’t the first person to weep. And you aren’t the first person to be helped.
Read the story and remember, the story is yours! (from Max Lucado, He Still Moves Stones.)
“I am the Lord, the God of every person on earth. Nothing is impossible for me.” Jeremiah 32:27.
