From the desk of Dianna Gholston There’s Nobody Like Him: You must come to God as a father who loves you dearly and desires only what is best for you, while always regarding Him with profound reverence. As your awe of God expands, your fears in life will diminish. A big view of God translates into big courage; a small view of God generates no courage at all. A puny God can’t help you when cancer strikes, your family is in trouble, or you’ve no way to pay your bills. A distant God cannot be trusted if you feel led to go someplace where your faith will be tested. A ‘do-me-a-favor’ Jesus may look good stuck on your dashboard, but that image can do nothing for your fears. You need an awesome God, who, while diminishing your ego, enlarges your faith and blows your mind. The Psalmist wrote: ‘Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things... ’ (Psalms 103:2-5). It’s not that trials and tribulations will not come - they will. But He will lead you through them and in the process He will give you strength and courage and a faith that can move mountains. Prayer Heavenly Father, I praise You for who You are and for all that you are doing in my life. You alone are the source of all strength and courage. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
