God allows hardships into our lives to refine us. Yet even in these trials he is by our side, giving us strength and working everything for our benefit.
I'm going to offer a suggestion of something totally wild and crazy to do for St. Patrick's Day.
Who is your role model?
Have you ever wished God would speak to you? Tell you which decision to make? God doesn't speak to us audibly, but he does speak to us through the Bible.
What would it take for you to be truly happy?
Have you given up something for Lent? Pastor John Petersen suggests that perhaps you should give up Guilt for Lent. Put your guilt on Jesus, he has taken your sins to the cross in your place.
The passages that I personally find most comforting in the Bible are passages that make me look weak and small and that make God look great and powerful.
God's heart doesn't change. He wants you to be his child. He wants you to have faith in him. And he wants to see you in heaven someday.
We're like little birds sometimes inconsequential to others, but very very precious to God.
Are you familiar with the domino effect? The devil likes to topple our lives, but God also set things in motion, a cascade of events to save you!
You may not be afraid of monsters under the bed, but I dare say there are some things you are afraid of. Have confidence that God has protected you and he continues to protect you.
Today Pastor Petersen takes us into the Psalms where we find comfort that despite how the world looks and feels, we can trust that God takes us by the hand and leads us to glory.
