How will our heart respond when darkness seems to hide his face? Will we trust? Will we remember that our God holds everything in His hands? Will we pour out our pain or let it simmer inside? Join David as he shows us the way to trust and strength through focusing on the wondrous reality of God's steadfast love.

The Love of God by Steven Lawson

When things go well in life, how do you respond? Are you in danger of growing self reliant, complacent, or careless in the faith? Are you in danger of taking grace for granted? David was. David fell to this temptation and experienced the grace of God’s discipline to wake Him up. Nearing death, he cried out to the Lord and his prayer was heard. This is David’s song of thanksgiving. May it become our song as we remember how the Lord changes our weeping into dancing and turns our sorrow into joy.
