"The ministry of thorns has often been a greater ministry to man than the ministry of thrones. -Streams in the Desert, p. 362
Adversity and persecution are effective means of turning us to God. Prosperity, ease and approval often result in a gradual drifting away from the Lord.
Going through adversity? Your God is BIG, cling to Him. Enjoying prosperity? Ask God to bind you to Him, so you will not wander. "I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead..." (http://www.prayerfoundation.org/st_patricks_breastplate_prayer.htm)
TV~ (Today's Verse)
I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the
injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will
destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
[Ezekiel 34:16]
