The God of Our Circumstances

Our Lord is the God of our circumstances. We can go to Him and ask Him for His mercy and grace. We can ask Him to change our circumstances. If it is not within His will to take away what we are going through, we can remember that He will go through it with us. Let's invite Him.

"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places." (Habakkuk 3: 17-19)

Writing’s Greatest Reward

From writing I seek no glory. What I hope for is to share God’s good news. To have people read my books and gain something from them is the only reward worth anything to me.

Easter Sunday I visited with my sister and worshiped at her church. I was surprised to see a worn copy of Secret Promise on top of a purse on a pew. Later my sister explained that the woman who had left the book there received it from her mother, who bought it at a book signing. The one who inherited the book planned to take it to the nursing home to share it with her mother-in-law. What a blessing!

“My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad." (Psalm 34:2)
