One of the great travesties of the Church today is, we don't experience God.--Think about what He's done for you- you could be much worse off than you are now, but you're not. Just think about where God has brought you---This past Sunday, Pastor Kent W. Clark dove into the topic of fear- he reminded us that, God has been with us all along, and He will be with us through all of our trials and tribulations. He will not leave us to ourselves.---When you pass through the waters, I will be with you- and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you- when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.- -Isaiah 43-2--There will be trials and tribulations, that is part of life. But we need not go through them alone, for God is always with us.--We may feel like we're drowning, there may be times in our lives when circumstances seem as though they will overcome us. But the guardian angel is there- the Lord Himself. And it is through our trials that we truly experience God.
