Maybe that’s overly dramatic, but you probably know what I
mean.
Christ hasn't gone anywhere, of course, and what you have to
do is ride it out. Keep praying, and ignore the sense of vertigo you feel when
it seems like your circumstances are spiraling out of control. And, of course, continue
to read your Bible.
You never know when a very familiar, or seemingly dull,
portion of holy Scripture may be just the encouragement you need. This week,
for example, the Lord helped me through a genealogy. Usually you think of long
lists of names – So-and-So begat Such-and-Such – as the boring verses you skip
to get to the action parts of the Bible.
