There is a wonderful illustration in the film when Sonny is at Malachi’s diner for breakfast and is served coffee that has not been brewed, eggs that have not been cooked, as well as uncooked bacon. Malachi makes the point that the breakfast isn’t done yet, and that God is not done yet either. He helps Sonny begin to find hope again. The examples of ants rebuilding their hills when they are destroyed and beavers rebuilding torn-down dams, are powerful analogies offering Sonny hope. When frustration and anger rise up within you … ignore those two emotional bullies and follow the truth of the Word of God.

Where Is God? - Online Bible 12 Bible Verses about Where Is God? - Online Bible

Susan has been described as a solid, comforting voice in a messy world. Whether speaking to business professionals, women’s conferences, industry leaders or writer’s workshops, Susan’s insightful wisdom inspires audiences, empowering them to make healthy mental u-turns to help them find calm in the chaos. One of my dear friends is grieving both the death of her mother and then her own husband within less than a 6-month period. So in the middle of the mess we return to worship. Because worship will carry us through. In worship we decide & declare what we know is true. In worship we praise God for who He is, not just all He has done. Be careful not to withdraw your worship just because God doesn’t seem to be present when you pray. The serpent is cursed to crawl on its belly and eat dust. As Donald Barnhouse explains, “To eat dust is to know defeat, and that is God’s prophetic judgment upon the enemy.... There will be continuous aspiration, but never any attainment” ( Genesis: A Dev o tional Exposition [Zondervan], p. 22). The serpent was literally condemned to crawl on its belly, which I understand to mean that before the curse, it did not do so. (Some commentators say that it did, but that now God attaches new significance to that fact.)

Due to the 2020 COVID-19 situation there’s no video for this program. Enjoy the audio & text and remember, there’s lots more in the Media Lounge. Thank you for your understanding. What about heaven? The Bible says that God has "set eternity in the hearts of men." 18 Maybe that means we know, in our hearts, what a better world would look like. The death of people we love convinces us that there's something very wrong with this life and this world. Somewhere deep down in our souls, we know that there must be a much better place to live, free from heart-wrenching difficulties and pain. To be sure, God does have a better place He offers us. It will be a completely different system in which His will is done all the time. In this world, God will wipe every tear from people's eyes. There will be no more mourning, crying, death or pain. 19 And God, by His Spirit, will dwell in people in such a way that they will never sin again. 20 When God does not feel near yet we remain near in prayer, remain in waiting, remain in worship, we declare to God that our hope is in Him, in His timing, in His will. We proclaim that God sees what we cannot see. That God knows what we cannot know. That our hope is in an eternal God who is with us & for us. That there is a God & that I am not Him! This event is a foreshadowing of what happened to Jesus during his resurrection, and what will happen with all of us who place our faith and hope in Jesus: to be raised by the power of God from the curse of sin and spiritual death. This is resurrection hope. Going from a life of hopelessness and sorrow to having joy and a deeper spiritual knowledge in Christ the Lord.

God, Where Are You?! by John Bevere– Messenger International God, Where Are You?! by John Bevere– Messenger International

But God goes on to say that He (singular, a particular seed of the woman) shall bruise Satan on the head, and Satan would bruise Him on the heel. This refers to Christ, born of a woman (Gal. 4:4), the last Adam, who would redeem the fallen race. It is a remarkable verse in that it refers to the seed of the woman, not the man. Elsewhere in the Bible descent is determined through the male. But here it is the seed of the woman, not the man, who will bruise Satan’s head. It is a prophecy, veiled at the time, but evident now, of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Just ask David or Moses. Ask Elijah, or Peter or Paul. Every person we hold up as a hero of faith at one time FELT far from God.

No matter what happens in the world around you, God can be there for you. Though people do not follow God's ways, God is able to take horrible circumstances and bring about His plan anyway. God is ultimately in control over world events. If you are God's, then you can rest on the promise that, "All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose." 29 I looked for anyone to repair the wall and stand in the gap for me on behalf of the land, so I wouldn’t have to destroy it. But I couldn’t find anyone.
