Thought for the day

Nowhere does the Bible teach that Christians are exempt from tribulation and natural disaster…. But the Bible does teach that we can face trials with a power others do not have—the power for God. As we trust Him, God helps us endure, and even discern His purposes in the midst of suffering…. The eagle has the unique ability to lock its joints and soar effortlessly on an updraft, instead of flapping its wings. As we wait on God, He helps us use the winds of adversity to soar above our problems. As the Bible says, “Those who wait on the Lord….shall mount up with wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31)
