I receive a magazine in the mail. In Touch, established by Dr. Stanley. I like the little magazine. I may not agree with everything I read but we aren\u2019t supposed to just accept everything we read without first contemplating our own conclusion. Thoughts evolve<\/a> and we want them to evolve with God, Truth.<\/p>\n

I recently read a lofty headline in the magazine, it reads:<\/p>\n

Christ promises to provide everything you need for abundant life.<\/b><\/p>\n

In a world lathered with problems, it seems as though the author doesn’t get out of the office much.<\/p>\n

But, I nibbled and thought a little about a few of the promises listed.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re discouraged, He comforts you. (2 Cor. 1:5)<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re confused, He gives you wisdom.<\/a> (Col 2:1-4)<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re rejected, he accepts you. (Rom 15:7)<\/p>\n

When you have financial needs, He\u2019s your provider (Phil. 4:19)<\/p>\n

As I digest these statements, the sheer practice of getting my mind to consider a new thought<\/a> is opening my mind to the provision of a promise that becomes more believable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
