Make Life Matter

“God anoints and appoints but usability is up to you.” In a world riddled by hard things how can life be good? When bestselling author and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle lost her beloved father in 2017, she found herself wondering the same question and beginning her journey of the hard good. Now, some five years later, in her new book, The Hard Good: Showing Up for God to Work in You When All You Want to Do is Shut Down, Lisa combines the lessons she learned with counsel from Scripture to share a poignant and practical roadmap that helps us find spiritual growth and discover our unique role in God’s perfect plan.

Welcome back to Fearless Fridays! Today, we meet Rahab. I’m so challenged by her courage. It’s much easier to just blend in with the crowd than to stand up for what is right. Let’s get to know this amazing woman who stood out – and dared to do extraordinary things -  because of her faith. She ached for a life without shame, without stigma, and without shackles. And her riveting story reminds us that our past doesn’t have to paralyze our future.

“I wasn’t looking for God, but He was looking for me.” Susanne Cox watched her parents become destroyed by alcohol, anger, and a home filled with abuse. By the time Susanne was 13 years old, she was already in her first drug treatment center and a full-blown alcoholic. By the time she was 23, she was a cocaine addict whose life had spiraled out of control. Now, she is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, Founder of Legacy of Purpose, and served as a missionary to Southern Asia before marrying Pastor Ron Cox of Kingwood Church in Alabama. Susanne serves on the Speaker Bureau for Project Rescue and partners with their mission to rescue and restore victims of sexual exploitation through the love and power of God. Her riveting story will encourage you that God brings Beauty for Ashes.

We might just be surprised to hear what the women of the Bible have to say about the complex cultural issues we are dealing with today. We can find our fearless as we explore the way their calling influences ours. Too often, we let challenges build barriers that keep us from fearless living. Instead, let’s use them to build bridges that carry us to our greatest impact. From Fearless: Ordinary Women of the Bible who Dared to do Extraordinary Things by Angela Donadio www.angeladonadio.com

Ordinary moments become extraordinary when our obedience intersects with God’s provision. We learn how to flex our faith muscles by saying yes to God in small decisions. Then, when we’re faced with a giant “ask,” we’re ready because we’ve consistently developed trust. God does His best work when we let go and get out of the way. This tale of two daughters shows us how to trust God for divine provision, protection, and divine opportunities.
