I subscribe to only a handful of blogs and I think that one of the most valuable for me and my walk with Jesus is the DesiringGod blog updates that I get every day. They are almost always great. Almost always meaty and almost always insightful. But there is one particular style of post that they put out that particularly moves me. And that is what I like to call the "story" post. In essence they look at passages or stories in scripture and using historical and cultural knowledge about that particular story, time, people and place, they elaborate a bit and tell a dramatic and captivating tale about the scriptures in question.
Last week, they sent one of these about faith and the storms in life. For several people I know this is a right now word from God and I imagine for a lot of readers of this blog and people in general, you'll also need to hear this. It's tough to have this kind of faith, but it's worth pursuing until we do. He commands it.
Jason, I can't help but think of think of Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am Lord. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exlated in the earth" In the business of life, sometime we forget who is in charge.
