“God,” we might whisper through cracked lips and aching heart, “is there any way, any chance, You could bring good out of this bad situation?” This is possibly one of the most powerful prayers you and I can every bring to God.
“Am I a Terrible Person?”
There is great power in the words “God, please forgive me.” Not only will God forgive you and me, but God will clean out the wound.

Isaiah 52: Beautiful Are The Feet
God knows every story, and God’s timing is perfect for every person. You and I are too finite to fully grasp the magnitude of this truth. But we are able to at least trust God with it. #Isaiah52 #BeautifulAreTheFeet

Isaiah 12: Sanctification
When you and I believe in and look for the supernatural goodness in ourselves and in other believers that God has personally put there, as well as gently help each other back into the way when we notice that someone is off the path, we are living into sanctification.

Hebrews: God’s Rest
Here is where many people reading Hebrews can find themselves in a dilemma. If by “rest” the writer meant “eternal salvation,” then the example of the rebellious Israelites who could not enter the Promised Land becomes gravely problematical.

John 11: Jesus Develops Martha’s Faith
I read a book a while ago called, Where Is God When Bad Things Happen? Written by Luis Palau. As you can imagine from the title, the author talks about the traumas and tragedies that you and I experience in life, and why God seems to allow them. Where was God? What was God doing? What is God doing? That’s what Martha and Mary were wondering in this story, and probably Jesus’s disciples, too.

God asks no more of believers than was asked of God’s own Son, and our suffering also has purpose, glory, and blessing in it.

Gospel of John: Sanctification
Jesus was praying that you and I will be protected by the supernatural power of God as we intentionally engage the people around us, whoever they may be, with the goodness of God’s love, the gentleness of God’s goodness, and the good news of God’s gospel.
