     | 5,477 views

    “why” is not the best question. Seldom are there answers to the “why”, though as we walk through life we may come to see how God was doing good even through difficulty. The better question is “who” – who will not abandon us in the midst of pain?

    “Who” Is A Better Question Than “Why” – Gideon’s Call (Judges 6:1-24) Series: Stories of God’s People April 23, 2006 “Bree,” said Aravis, who was not very interesting in the cut of his tail, “I’ve been wanting to ask you something for a long time.

    If God has promised that He'd never leave me or forsake me... shouldn't that mean I won't encounter any difficulties or frustrations in my life? No, but the reason what this is true may change your life.

The next year they elected a town government. The third year the town government planned to build a road five ...read more

    Many people, like Esau, have had a life programmed for difficulties. They have a yoke placed on their shoulders thus there is a limit they can’t go beyond. The secret of breaking free from this yoke is to be tired of it and grow restless. Yoke destroyer.

    When God chooses to open up the flood gates and rain down His showers of blessing, we usually don’t realize it until after we are completely drenched. This message brings encouragement to those who are facing trials and difficulties.
