He Is My Deliverer | Rodney Holmstrom, CR Global Field Director

"Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him…" Psalm 91:14a NIV

There is such power in praying scriptures. This morning, I decided to shift my verse today into my personal prayer for one of God's seven promises listed in Psalm 91.

"Because I love You, Lord, I thank You that You have promised to deliver me.” Psalm 91:14a NIV

Reflecting on my life, I am reminded that I almost destroyed my marriage, my family, and my life because I was attempting to manage my stuff on my own. 

The following verse resonates as my own language in that season and still holds true today...
“All who call on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered." Joel 2:32 NIV

Today I am thanking God for what He has [is] done [doing] in my life and yours as I reflect with gratitude today.

Out of the Darkness....Into the Light! By Patrick McGinnis

  So, if you recall from last week’s post, a few days prior to landing in the hospital a few weeks ago, Stephanie and I were enjoying God’s amazing underground creation of Linville Caverns, near Linville Falls, North Carolina. It was incredible! So many colors, formations, textures, blind trout, and a “bottomless” lake, which without realization we stood directly over on a narrow walkway, until the tour guide informed us of our position! It was all quite remarkable! The coolest experience, though, was when we went as far into the caverns as was passable. Beyond that, the ceiling quickly reduced to approximately 18” and stayed that way for ½ mile before opening up into another series of caverns. Fun fact! According to the tour guide, in the late 1800’s Thomas Edison traversed that ½ mile of 18” tall crawl space, through several inches of water, in search of platinum necessary for the invention of the light bulb! He didn’t find any, but he did sign the wall of the cavern. Another...

”But God...raised us from the dead."  Ephesians 2‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Two of my favorite words in the Bible..."but God..." It’s so comforting to remind ourselves that no matter how bad things may look for us in our life, family, or recovery today, we can confidently rise up and and declare with confidence these two powerful words: ‘But God!’ Isn’t it amazing to know God is raising you and I up to fulfill His purposes even when it doesn’t feel like it?! Keep going friend. God’s got you! Have a blessed day.

As Pure Gold | David, Local CR Leader

Have you ever felt like God was nowhere to be found?  Have you ever just feel like you’re “hanging on for dear life” – hoping that some ray of hope shows up soon from the Father?     In the Old Testament book of Job, Job himself expressed those feelings.   A friend shared these verses with me this week.  He said they were an anchor for him in a 3-year struggle with depression.     Job 23:1-3 & 8-10  (NLT) says: Then Job spoke again: “My complaint today is still a bitter one,     and I try hard not to groan aloud. If only I knew where to find God,     I would go to his court… I go east, but he is not there.     I go west, but I cannot find him. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.     I look to the south, but he is concealed. But he knows where I am going.     And when he tests me,  I wil...
