Life is Hard but God is Good

 Life is Hard but God is Good

Life is hard but God is good.

The strong wind blows trouble

to accomplish what it should;

sometimes His acts are not so subtle

and they explode our comfortable world

with torrential rain smashing at our hope

and then the wind comes & away it’s hurled.

His acts & ways are beyond our scope,

blowing with force as our life is swirled

about here and there with seeming chance.

God has said that He created the destroyer

to ruin, but He also said that He will save us,

not test us beyond our limit to endure, and if 

we trust Him, and are seeking his will He weaves 

all things together for our good. But, how good 

does it seem when you are clinging to a board from 

your destroyed and sinking ship of life. That’s 

when faith is tested to either break or endure to 

become much much stronger. Kill me, if You will, 

but I will still trust You is what God is waiting to 

hear, as you go under for the third time and then 

at the very last moment–a hand reaches down and 

snatches you out of the deep and into His light of 

life and the salvation He promised. What a ride, 

what a life. but then remember this is the life you 

signed up for, or did you? Suffering is at the core

of the Gospel to mold us into mature believers.

Go read the book of Acts in the Bible.

  The Lord Is Very Near                                         by Danny C. Wash "Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13 The Lord is very near, so we should have no fear. He loves and cares for us so we should in Him trust. He redeemed us from sin’s hold, so we are free and  can  be bold in Him to carry us to victory through our life’s many mysteries and to someday stand before His throne, without blame in His merit & name alone.

God’s Mystery

God’s Mystery                                                           by Danny C. Wash                                                  “ The mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been manifested to  His saints.” Colossians 1:26 What is God’s mystery?  A mystery is a secret, an unknown thing. Something that is not easily understood. But, God’s mystery has now been revealed to  anyone who will ask, seek, and knock, as Jesus  has said. God’s mystery is, Christ in you, the hope  of glory and you complete in Christ. This secret was  hidden from the past generations before the cross  and the victory of the resurrection. The demons did not know the secret, so they participated unknowingly  in the revealing of the secret by nailing Jesus to the  cross thinking they had the victory only to be defeated  on the third day in the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus became  the Messiah, the Savior, the Christ. And, then it was revealed  that by God’s act we were p

 An Email to a Friend About What Christians Believe                                                                                                                                                       David , I  enjoyed talking with you about Judaism and Christianity.  I could tell you have a real interest in spiritual matters.   When we were talking we didn’t have a chance to finish our discussion about the Christian concept of God being One God. First, let me say that the below is not to be taken as an argument against your beliefs, it is just a statement of what I believe most Christians believe.   As I said, Christians believe that God is One, in the sense that the Godhead is three in One- the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (what has been called “the Trinity”). The three are distinct personalities, but are not separate, in Christian thought. How that really works is one of the mysteries of our belief.  As you may know (and I don’t know your level of knowledge abo
