DAILY DEVOTIONAL    THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2004
( 1 Kings 22:19 )

***TODAY IS VETERAN'S DAY.  THIS DEVOTIONAL IS DEDICATED TO ALL
OF THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE SERVED IN OUR ARMED FORCES SINCE THE FOUNDING
OF THIS NATION, MANY MAKING THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE
FREEDOM TO PROCLAIM JESUS CHRIST TO BE THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
MAY THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY SERVING, KNOW THAT YOUR SACRIFICE IS NOT IN
VAIN...AND A GRATEFUL NATION SALUTES YOU.  MAY GOD ALMIGHTY WATCH OVER YOU,
PROTECT YOU, AND BLESS YOU RICHLY FOR YOUR BRAVERY AND SERVICE.

*** DON'T MISS THE FRIDAY DEVOTIONAL, "God is calling you to make a
difference with your life...NOW!"


God is still on the throne.  Probably one of the things that comforts me
more
than anything else during a problem or crisis, is the fact that God is still
on His throne.  He didn't get off to take a nap, or go watch sports, or hit
the refrigerator.  He is there, in total control of all that is going on.
That of course begs the question, why does He allow terrible things to
happen if He is really on the throne.

Remember, God does not cause evil, or encourage it, but does allow it to
happen as He did in the case of Job.  It was only with God's permission that
the devil was able to do what he did to Job.  Why does God allow bad things
to happen?  Men much wiser than I can argue that one, but I do know one day
God will wipe away all sin and evil from this world.

That leads me to the great verse that assures us God will not give us more
than we can bear.  He knows our breaking point.  Those two truths, God in
control at all times and He will never give me more than I can bear, get
me through the difficult times in life.

Many of you are facing difficulties in your life today.  Unexplained
problems.
Circumstances that seem to be out of hand.  Pressures that are becoming
intolerable.  Now is the very time to make your faith real.  Look to God and
ask Him to strengthen you, to encourage you, to give you peace.  He knows
how to make the heavy burdens lighter, the crooked path straight.  Don't
become weak when the difficult times come, be strengthened by them.  Let
them be times of testing, and honing, and sharpening your faith.

I love you deeply and care about you.  I realize that life can be difficult.
I also realize that in those difficult times, we can grow in our faith, we
can learn to depend on God, we can become real people of faith.  Let the
difficult times help you to know God in a deeper, more intimate way.  Learn
to trust the Truth that He is on His throne in control of all things.  Take
to heart His promise that He will not give you more than you can bear.
Learn how to walk through the storms of life victoriously.  Be comforted
that He will never leave you, never forsake you, never let you down.

For those of you who are in need of a miracle, don't forget to stop by our
Miracle Center on my website at www.liveprayer.com .  We have had incredible
testimonies of healing, restored marriages, financial blessings over the
years.  I will be praying for you today.  Whatever you are facing, never
forget this truth.  God is on His throne....God is in Control!!!!!


In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
