This past weekend, Pastor Doug Melder kicked us off in a new series "Relational Remedies" with an incredible message about perseverance through what he called the "secret will of God". I loved his sermon, and the one line that struck me most was this: Kent's paraphrase - "The Exodus doesn't happen unless Joseph gets thrown into a pit." Essentially, God's redemption does not happen unless Joseph has a bad day. Now that's perspective in the midst of trials!
I'm amazed at God's sovereignty today. Thanks to Doug for putting my life into perseverance perspective.
