Hard Times

The Eagle and the Crow

Eagles can soar to 20,000 feet, far above the reach of the crows that mob and harass them. When the eagle has had enough, it does not argue or fight back - it simply spreads those giant wings and climbs to where the crows cannot follow. We all know some crows. People who pick apart what you are doing, undercut your peace, or just make noise in your direction. The good news is that the peace of God is real, but it lives at a higher altitude than the squawking. Ten minutes with the LORD before the noise starts can change your whole day. Spread your wings and climb higher. Let the crows squawk at the empty space where you used to be. Listen to the message today for a word of hope!

Broken Radios

The Lord sent Saul, the king of Israel, on a quest, but he failed because of his fear of man. Saul conveniently "overlooked" the command of the Lord and let his men keep the best cattle and sheep as plunder. He also spared the enemy king. If you ever have to choose between obeying God or man, always choose God. For wisdom to make the best choices, Listen to the message today for a word of hope!

Forgotten Promises

When I was young, the Lord spoke to my heart and told me that I would be in the ministry one day and for me to prepare myself for it. I loved studying the word of God anyway, so I decided to go through seminary. I figured that if God wanted me in ministry, He would open a door for me when I was ready. His preparation involved a lot more than I thought. If you have been waiting on God's plans for you for a long time, Listen to the message today for a word of hope!

The Hot Head

A mighty prophet of God a few days before, Jonah now sat in the blazing heat and wished that he was dead. He actually prayed to die. The Lord provided everything Jonah needed to change his attitude. He will also provide everything we require to maintain a proper attitude. Sometimes that involves withholding something we think that we need. Or something else comes along we don't think we need.
