Last night I saw a shooting star to the south. The arctic clear night sky yielded a perfect view of its brief journey. **********************
That sounds so lovely, TCP.

The Power To Survive
When I was growing up, I had an inflatable plastic punching dummy. It was about as tall as I was and had a smiling face painted on it. My challenge was to hit it hard enough to make it stay down. But no matter how hard I tried, it always bounced right back up again. The secret? There was a lead weight in the bottom that always kept it upright. Sailboats operate by the same principle. The lead weights in their keels provide the ballast to keep them balanced and upright in strong winds.
Its like that in the life of a believer in Christ. Our power to survive challenges resides not in us but with God, who dwells within us. Were not exempt from the punches that life throws at us nor from the storms that inevitably threaten our stability. But with full confidence in His power to sustain us, we can say with Paul, We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Cor. 4:8-9).
Join the many travelers through life who through deep waters of pain and suffering embrace with unshakable confidence the truth that Gods grace is sufficient and that in our weakness He is made strong (12:9). It will be the ballast to your soul.
Where do you turn for stability when youre in a stormy season of life? Read Anchors In The Storm by Joe Stowell online at www.discoveryseries.org/hp073 for help.
The power of God within you is greater than the pressure of troubles around you.
: In fulfilling his calling as an apostle (Acts 9:15), Paul endured great suffering. In 2 Corinthians 1:8-10, 6:4-10, and 11:23-27, he elaborated on the many persecutions, threats, and dangers he faced. But in the midst of great opposition, persecution, and painful suffering, Pauls refrain is: We do not lose heart (2 Cor. 4:1,16). Speaking of himself as an earthen vessel, Paul acknowledges his frailty, limitations, and expendability (v. 7). His confidence is not rooted in himself but in Gods sovereign power, in His sustaining grace, in Christs resurrected life, and in the expectation of future reward and eternal glory (vv. 7-18).

We Christians have a heavy weight stabilizing us, just like the punching bag. Only OURS is made of Gold!
Good message today, Rus!

Didn’t get back yesterday, Conor, but I must tell you that Daniel is adorable. It’s great to see him supporting our troops. Give him a big thumb up from Amy’s Place.
Hope you had a fantastic Friday and wishing you a super Caturday.
