Some passages in the Bible are easy to understand, including many of the basic truths about God. But some are harder like God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and must be understood in light of other Scripture and God’s character. Today’s Old Testament passage is one of those. In our New Testament reading, we’ll see how God can use all things, even Satan and demons to bring about His purposes.
In today’s post … we’ll talk about those times when you feel worn down and discouraged by your circumstances. Maybe you’re exhausted from dealing with a strong-willed child, a difficult marriage, or some other family issue. Maybe you have suffered a devastating loss over the past year and the holidays were especially difficult. You may have lost a job or had some other financial setback. Or maybe you’re worried about rising costs or a medical diagnosis.
You may be so discouraged you’re tempted to give up altogether. How do you keep going when life seems so full of challenges?
