What Sustains You In The Bad Times?

January 13th, 2011 § Leave a Comment

There’s an interesting piece over at Relevant Magazine where they profile Pastor Matt Chandler’s battle with brain cancer. It’s a good read and there is this great quote in the piece:

“I don’t think God gave me cancer … but He knew it was coming. He certainly didn’t stop it, and He’s certainly able to. The whole Scripture is: bad things happen in a fallen world, and God is enough in those things and uses those things to the Glory of His own name.”

The bad times have a way of burning away the fluff in our lives and distilling our purpose down to the important.
