A Fantastic New Book
There is a fantastic new book that you should certainly get a hold of. You recall the very first entry on this blog about the dramatic rescue of Kurt Muse from a Panamanian prison, in the 1980s. Mr. Muse has recently written a book detailing that experience. The book is called Six Minutes To Freedom, and can be ordered on Amazon or picked up at your favorite bookseller. Kurt Muse says of his experience, "I pray that it’s noted, that I could have not survived without Him at my side." I will be buying this book right away!
Surf Torture
Have you ever felt like you’ve been put through some sort of “torture?” Something that, on the surface, had no relevance to your future and your direction? Have you found yourself asking, “What is going on?” or “Why is this happening?” We cannot forget that it is the Lord who tests and refines our faith, not our enemy. We’ve all faced a measure of “torture,” I’m sure. I’m also sure that much of it may have been intended for your destruction and may have its source with your enemy – but where is God? Why does He allow it? If He has plans to bless you and benefit you, why is He allowing you to suffer so deeply? I think the testing of our faith depends heavily upon God the Redeemer. He can take the things that were meant for our destruction and use them to turn us into such a capable and durable servant of His purpose.
