What’s on your wish list for the future? A nicer house? A newer car? Or a bigger TV? It’s all well and good to enjoy the creature-comforts life affords, but when we spend too much time dwelling on what we don’t have we can easily get trapped in the nagging feelings of disappointment. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez shares a biblical strategy, "When the Grass Looks Greener." Perhaps you’ve been peeking over the proverbial fence thinkin’ life could be much better.
In our broken world, suffering is not a matter of if, but when. The weight of life's burdens, the turmoil of our culture and the stress of finances may have you longing for a hiding place for some glimmer of relief. Find genuine peace amidst difficult trials and learn to rejoice instead of despair. The gospel can sustain believers, even in the darkest times. Be sure to request the book The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom with your generous donation this month.
