This Day's Thought

Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God’s most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.

Charles Stanley

But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

Psalm 94:22

This Day's Reprise

You can’t tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.
