Staring Into The Face of Adversity — 1 Comment

  1. “He’s got questions, of course. However, his focus remains on our Lord.” Love it! I think we need to remember that God is big enough to handle our questions! He knows we are going to have our moments, and even when we completely fall down, “the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). God knows that stumbling and falling are part of the equation, they are a reality even for the one walking in the light. That’s why His blood is always there, so we can get back up, accept the cleansing that His blood offers, and keep on going.

    I love stories of adversity – like the stories of Ryan Parrot and Fiske Hanley; like the story of Job – that end in overcoming defeat and turning misfortune into opportunity. The difference between those guys and anyone else is not that some face adversity and some do not. The difference is what you do with your adversity.

    Thanks, Stewart, for sharing these inspiring stories and reminding us that we can find hope, encouragement and fortitude all around us, if we will simply open our eyes and see it. Thanks, Jon, for your continued faithfulness, and for sharing your “Dad is Learning” adventure with the world.
