This page was created to help give insight to the WORD of God, the Bible. Your faith should empower, not enslave you. Explore God's love and power for you to dominate your circumstances and world with us. God's love is real - I dare you to test it!
Have you ever felt like you're being buried alive? Like you're in quicksand? The more you try to get out is the further in you're being pulled in? How did you get here? You've been playing the right cards. In fact, you've gone above and beyond. Yet, here you are in this dark, unpleasant hole.
_______________________________________
Maybe you were thrown in like Joseph by his brothers? Maybe you were betrayed like Jesus in Gethsemane? Maybe you were misguided like the prodigal son in the pig pen? Maybe like David you're on the backside of the mountain? Maybe like Paul you are on a boat being shipped off to prison? Here where you are just looks and feels unfair. You feel wronged and overwhelmed; and you wonder, God where are YOU? Lord, have YOU deserted me? Help, or not!
YOU feel a great loss? It could be any kind of loss:
The death of a loved one
The loss of a job or prized possession
A divorce of some kind
Lies, slander and defamation, etc...
Choose a number. You just don't understand what's going on. But, hey, you don't need to understand. You just need to know, nothing catches God by surprise.

YOUR Heavenly Father, the Almighty God, sees all things, knows all things, and is in full control of all things. Everything that exists had/has it's origin in HIM. The most valuable thing on earth is our heart, your heart. HE gives us the desires of our hearts. Psalm37. The greatest thing we can do is trust that HE is a God of HIS word. He created us with an individual plan for each of our lives. When we walk in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit we trust that all things are working in our favor.
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
_______________________________________
Trusting God is not about what HE will do. It is about Knowing that HE loves you without constraints. Just as a good parent will sacrifice everything for his/her child; so too the Almighty God has sacrificed HIS greatest possesion - Jesus Christ HIS son. John 3 You are never forgotten. HE knows every strand of hair in your head. Luke 12. Everything happens for a reason. Judas had to betray Jesus in order for the Jews to find a 'justified' way to kill him. Jesus had to die. Paul had to be shipwrecked in order to bring salvation to a people. Joseph had to be imprisoned in order to have met the servant who told the Pharoh about his talent. How else were the Israelites going to be enslaved then restored to their promised land which God had foretold to Abraham so many ions ago? HE is God, HE cannot lie!
_______________________________________
We don't normally see the purpose. But rest assured, God will work it out! You may not know how, you may not know when, but HE'LL do it again. HE'LL come to your rescue.We live to bring glory to HIS NAME. God specializes in doing the impossible. That way, no one else can take the glory. Sometimes, you've got to take your feelings out of the picture. Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and wisdom, and wait. God sent king Nebuchadnezzar to eat grass, then later on restored him to his kingdom. Daniel 5 What can't God do? What can't HE restore? Instead of becoming depressed and bitter, choose to praise God. Do like Paul and Silas in prison. Acts 16 Remember, everything exists to praise HIM. Give God the glory! In all things, give God the praise!
