Adversity is not only a bridge to a deeper relationship with God, but it’s also the path to freedom, healing, and maximum usefulness.
From Hebrews 12:11-13: “Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.“
Too many choices
Dreaming of sampling each one—
Tasting delicious
Reading instructions
Deciphering every step—
Uncommon language
Taking advantage
Fitting into slower pace—
Daily puzzle solved

Freedom is the oxygen without which science cannot breathe.
The products of modern science are not in themselves good or bad; it is the way they are used that determines their value.

When I stumble
My body tumbles
Weakness fills me
Not worthy to see
Attempting to move
Just not in my groove
People walk right by
None saying even “hi”
Ignoring me there
Silence never fair
Feeling so much alone
Picking up my phone
Finding short text to read
Responding to my needs
Standing up now
Kneeling to bow
The message sustains
No, I’m not to blame
“My brother, rise up thee
Now, always follow me”
Jesus!

From Psalm 145:8: “The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.”
Blessing forever, God above
Kneeling, bending every knee
Praising His greatness, Amen!
Justice sown from righteous decrees
Breathing with hope’s newfound freedom
Witnessing God’s mighty moves
Praising daily in worship
Mercy arrives, His Son approves
Riding donkey, comes humble King
Tasting His merciful grace
Praising faith’s new covenant
Heaven’s goodness, let all embrace
Commanding nations, take notice
Setting every sinner free
Praising repeal of darkness
Throughout earth’s many lands and seas
Sounding faith’s endless trumpet
Protecting with blessed light
Praising God’s lasting greatness
Eternal daylight covers night
From Zechariah 9:16: “On that day the Lord their God will save them, for they are the flock of His people, for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on His land.”
