Oh the Depth, of God - 2


"Though we can never reach the bottom of God's unfathomable ways, we do know what it's like to reach the bottom of our own strength.  Perhaps you've been there-perhaps you are there-down where life drags the floor of all human abilities, where everything feels hopeless and pointless and impossible to handle.  This is where many women give up and call it quits, or slink away into a pit of bitterness, or turn their frustrations on those nearest them...The true woman knows that deeper than her own limitations and problems, is the bedrock of God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge.  His unseen yet sovereign, eternal purposes are underneath it all, holding it all together...Your problems may be deeper than ever.  Your issues and challenges may never before have reached such depths as you're experiencing now.  But no matter how low they've taken you, there is something-Someone-who is deeper still."  Nancy Leigh DeMoss


"The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."  Deuteronomy 33:27


Be in the Word with consistency.  Let it dwell deep down inside, richly, so when the trial comes, it is where you automatically run...it's the best place to go and stay when the pressure hits.  You can have success in the crisis, if you have success in the process.
