The part that affected me the most was the part about Paul praising God while still imprisoned. Oh to have that kind of faith!<BR/><BR/>It's so easy to trust God, and then suddenly loose faith when events don't cater to our feelings--when our experience ARGUES with the truth about God. It's like Genesis 16, for instance. After God makes a covenant with Abram to make him a great nation, Abram and Sarai still don't have a son for an heir. They take matters into their own hands and try to get one through their servant Hagar, instead of waiting in faith for God's promise. This really puts the fear of God in me!<BR/>(idea on Gen. 16 from For the Love of God-devotional)<BR/><BR/>Really good thoughts, Ryan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849304709467896650.post-52091390156667328272007-07-09T23:30:00.000-04:002007-07-09T23:30:00.000-04:00Wow ryan.

So many times I have confessed to God that I want Him to be Lord over my life but the next moment when He challenges me I quickly put both hands on the wheel. Thanks for the post bud. Very encouraging to see Paul's response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
