Title: A thought for tough times...
Post by: Doc Nock on July 18, 2009, 07:34:00 AM
I get these daily devotionals. There are good sources of those all around.

This one hit me today and made me think of all who reach out here and all who cry out here.

I hope this might touch a few as it did me.

How God Builds Your Faith: Dead End

"At that time we were completely overwhelmed, the burden was more than we could bear, in fact we told ourselves that this was the end. Yet we believe now that we had this experience of coming to the end of our tether that we might learn to trust, not in ourselves, but in God who can raise the dead" (2 Corinthians 1:8-9 PH).
 

When the pursuit of your dream deteriorates from difficult to impossible; when the situation looks hopeless, congratulations! You're in good company.

Even Paul went through dead ends: "At that time we were completely overwhelmed, the burden was more than we could bear, in fact we told ourselves that this was the end. Yet we believe now that we had this experience of coming to the end of our tether that we might learn to trust, not in ourselves, but in God who can raise the dead" (2 Corinthians 1:8-9 PH).

Peace.
Keep the Son in your eyes!
