At this particular moment in time, my life is pretty dandy. The plans I thought I had all neatly set out for myself are no longer there, but they've been replaced by something much better. I'm quite content with where I am right now. In fact, I haven't dealt with anything really hard for quite some time now. That always worries me a little. Maybe that it's the calm before the storm. I don't know. But anyways, there's gotta be someone out there who's having a tough time, so hopefully this will help someone.
In Acts 7, Stephen is giving a not-so-brief history lesson. At least that's what it looks like at first. But if you look at little closer, Stephen is describing lots of the major characters in the Old Testament. He talks about trials they went through and how they each reacted. One of those "bitter or better" sort of things.
Well, as it would turn out, I've heard that people today also have to deal with hard things. While our problems are different than those of Moses and Abraham, we all run into those rough patches. I hope I can be strong enough to withstand my personal storms when they come, and I hope that others will find that strength too.
