When the odds are not in your favor, that doesn’t mean God has abandoned you. Stand your ground and keep your eyes on Him.
From Judges 7:7: “Then the Lord said to Gideon, ‘With the three hundred that lapped I will deliver you, and give the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others go to their homes.'”

I’ve been enjoying listening to Charles Stanley lately. I often listen to Andy Stanley but this is a change for me. It’s inspiring and sharpening 🙂

Thanks Jan. Many times, finding a worthy photo for a post is a fulfilling trip. Most of the words from Dr. Stanley come from his daily devotion on his website. I read it every morning along with other readings and my Bible.
