Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • I had the privilege of preaching at Ocala Christian Church this morning.
  • We looked at Philippians 1, focusing on the topic of Joy Stealers.
  • Paul faced three circumstances that could have robbed him of joy: the chains, the critics, and the choice. But praise God—he chose joy.
  • This week I was reminded how quickly an ordinary day can turn tragic. Some very dear friends of mine lost their granddaughter, and their pain is heartbreaking. Yet, I am thankful that our God provides comfort even in the most difficult circumstances.
  • As their son wrote on social media: God is good, even when life is not.
  • In times like these, the song by Jeremy Camp, There Will Be a Day, is a powerful reminder of the hope we have in Christ. I know this truth from personal experience.
  • Something to Chew On:“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” —Psalm 34:18
