a WORD from God's Book

______________________________________________________________________
Who is weak, and I do not feel [his] weakness? Who is made to stumble and fall and have his faith hurt, and I am not on fire [with sorrow or indignation]?

Now who is there to hurt you if you are zealous followers of that which is good?

Jabez cried to the God of Israel, saying, Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and You would keep me from evil so it might not hurt me! And God granted his request.

Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call the church leaders together to pray and anoint you with oil in the name of the Master. Believing-prayer will heal you, and Jesus will put you on your feet. And if you've sinned, you'll be forgiven—healed inside and out.

The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don't, the parts we see and the parts we don't. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.

"Confront me with the truth and I'll shut up, show me where I've gone off the track. Honest words never hurt anyone…

2 Corinthians 11:29 1 Peter 3:13 1 Chronicles 4:10 James 5:13 1 Corinthians 12:25 Job 6:24

No tragedy is beyond God’s sovereignty.
