How do you respond, friends, when suffering comes? Do you rebel against Him? Do you ever take an inventory of your life when trouble comes? Do you turn your stumbling blocks into steppingstones? Why did God let this happen to me? That’s a good question, but I want to tell you there’s a better answer to it. There’s a goal to be attained, a race to be won, a battle to be fought, and there’s a benefit here and now. And I believe that the most important thing for us to do today is to “draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to us….” We need to get close to Him.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
