Sausage Scenarios

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:58

Some of the challenges we face in life can be compared to making sausage. (Bear with me on the analogy!) A plump, grilled bratwurst tastes delicious, but you definitely don’t want to watch the creation process! Just trust that the maker knows what He’s doing as you wait for the end result.

But if you’re anything like me, when I’m faced with difficulties, I often make the mistake of “watching the process” a bit too close. I notice all the ingredients, all the prep work, all the grinding, and the pressing into the casing sleeve…and then the heat of the fire… And I begin to lose heart. Lose focus. Lose hope.

Recently, as my mind lingered long on a particular sausage-making trial, I said a quick prayer of, “O Father…You know what they need, please help.”  Looking down,  my eye caught a worn and stained post-it note taped to my desk with these words, “Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”  And “Do not grow weary in doing good…”

O, Father! How I needed to be reminded of that Truth! Help me trust You and not give up.

That little post-it note Scripture enabled me to snap back to a Christ-centered, God-is-bigger-than anything-we-face reality. A reality that doesn’t ignore life’s trials but rather, puts them in perspective. The truth is, we all have trials to walk through, but if we stare too long at the “process”, we will lose heart. Lose focus. Lose hope.

What is your sausage scenario? Have you stared long at…

Your pain

Your health

Your loneliness

Your children, or your lack of children

Your spouse, or your lack of a spouse

Your career challenges

Your disappointment

Your list of what if’s

Your Prodigals

Your loss

Your grief…?

It’s okay. Admit it. But don’t stay there. Look up from your sausage-trial and back to your God. Ask Him to help you refocus, to snap back to a Christ-centered reality rather than staring at your sausage scenario.     He is at work. He is faithful. His Word is true.

“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God you’ll be at rest.”

Corrie ten Boom

Father, Please help me to refocus onto You rather than the impossibility in front of me. Even as I do all I can – praying and serving, enable me to rest and trust You and Your word more than what I see and feel.  Thank you Lord! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Beyond Hope?

“I never expected to see your face again,” Israel (aka Jacob) said to Joseph, “but now God has let me see your children as well.”  Genesis 48:11 BSB

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed… Romans 4:18a BSB

The situation looks hopeless. Feels hopeless. By all accounts, is hopeless. Have such thoughts ever gripped your heart? Is there a person or circumstance or trial – something that appears beyond even the hint of a miracle? Have you, like me, without even realizing it, begun the slide into there’s-no-way-this-will-ever-change thinking? Leaving our omnipotent God out of the equation in the process?

In my own life, I have a this-looks-hopeless situation that readily comes to mind. Well, to be totally honest, there are a few. But as our Lord would have it, while driving to work and listening to a sermon/podcast, I was stopped in my tracks. Both encouraged and convicted by a speaker’s message. He reminded the listeners how easy it is to slide into despair or hopelessness, when we forget the sovereignty of our all-powerful God and assume (privately) that He’s forgotten all about us. And when we allow our circumstances to dictate what we believe God is capable of. He also reminded us that we don’t have all the facts of any given situation, but God does. But often, we act like we know better. Or maybe it’s just me.

Are we willing to trust God when it “feels” like He’s forgotten us, or when life “feels” unfair or worst of all, when a situation looks and feels hopeless?

Oh, the speaker offered no magic-wand outcomes. The truth is, God may very well allow great trial into our lives… for extended periods of time. But He can be trusted to bring good out of all we (His children) face. There is hope, in even the most hopeless circumstance. So, let’s keep praying. Keep trusting. Keep singing His praises. Whatever the outcome He chooses for us, He is good and He is faithful.

Like Jacob in today’s Scripture, what expectation have you given up on? Let me encourage you not to despair. Hope against hope. I’m preaching to myself as I preach to you. Let’s hope, trust and then bow to the will of our God. Hopelessness is a lie of the enemy.

Let’s hope, trust and then bow to the will of our God

Let me end with this; A young college student asked the renowned theologian, C.H. Spurgeon, “I’m having trouble understanding why bad things happen to some people, it doesn’t seem fair.” Spurgeon replied, “Young man, give God credit for knowing some things you don’t.”  Amen!

The lowest point in the tide is often the turning of the tide.

It’s always too early to throw in the towel.  – Philip De Courcy

Let’s pray…

Father God, please forgive me for my lack of trust in Your care and for limiting You, the Holy One. I lay my hopeless looking situations into Your hands and trust that You will do the impossible or walk me through the impossible. But may I not neglect to pray just because it looks and feels impossible. I love and worship You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Gospel 101

Offering God “Advice”

When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” …. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.” The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, offering Him sour wine, and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”

Luke 23:35-39 NASB 1995  (Also see Luke 24)

Recently, a friend and I were discussing how God could easily craft the perfect ending to a particular tragedy engulfing a close family friend. If God would just do “A” and then, “B”, and maybe a little bit of “C,” I’m sure that “D” will be the outcome. Mentally rubbing our hands together in a job-accomplished finish, “See, God. All figured out. Let me know if You need any more suggestions.”

I can hear the laughter from here! However, I bet it’s a familiar mental conversation to some of you. Or maybe you’re too spiritual to have ever secretly thought God could use some advice. But many of us have secretly thought we knew more than God. Let’s admit it and then unpack the truth of the matter. Because the truth is that God declares the end from the beginning, He knows what He’s doing and He can be trusted – even when it looks like a hot, tragic mess. Just hold on.

While Scripture offers many examples of this, let’s take in the scene described in today’s Scripture. Jesus Christ, the Man who declared Himself to be the Son of God, the Man who raised the dead, healed lepers, fed thousands with sardines and crackers and gave sight to a blind man … His bloody and beaten-beyond- human-recognition body is hanging on a cross, nailed there by mere humans (Isaiah 53). Mingled with that sight, we hear words of mocking accusation, “If He really is the Son of God, let Him save Himself, then we’ll believe. He saved others. Let Him save Himself.” At this point, if this were an action movie, the star would rip his muscular arms free from the iron nails and leap from the splintery wooden cross as he lunges forward and drop kicks the sneering guards. But this is no Hollywood movie. And Jesus Christ is no mere man. He is God in the flesh. And He always has the long (eternal) view in mind.

He allows what He hates to accomplish what He loves and longs for. He did not save Himself, so that He could save us. Eternally.

He often allows what He hates to accomplish what He loves and longs for. He did not save Himself, so that He could save us. Eternally.

So too, in our own lives, He may allow what He hates to accomplish what He loves and longs for. A new level of no-matter-what-happens kind of trust, or the salvation of a family member or possibly a living example of what it looks like to walk through tragedy, even as God holds our trembling hand.

Just as in the scene at the cross, there is a lost, and watching world all around us. The onlookers are wondering, is our trust only as deep and wide as a full bank account or good health or sunny days? Will we trust, even when God does not take our advice, that He is still good and He is still faithful and that He has a plan? This truth is something that always needs refresher courses.

Whatever the challenge today, let’s remember the cross. He’s got this.

Father, I know it’s both hilarious and idiotic to think we know more than You. That somehow, I understand and see, what You do not. Forgive me Lord. Help me stand on the truth that You sit as King over all that floods my life and are at work in all I bring to You. Great is Your faithfulness to me, O God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

So that…

As He passed along, He noticed a man blind from his birth. His disciples asked Him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?  Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.    John 9:1-3 AMPC / NASB

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 1 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV

While Jesus took time to actually notice the man born blind, and now begging for a living, His disciples landed on another approach.  Observing the overwhelming trial the man endured, they wanted to know why he was born blind in the first place. “What did he or his family do to deserve this?”, they asked, with an implied assumption. Not exactly empathy in action. Jesus explained, “This happened so that the works of God might be displayed in Him.” I’ll be the first to admit, being born blind in that culture isn’t something I would have volunteered for.  And yet, this man was given the honor of being used so that … his life and eventual healing might be used to display God’s glory.

Later, the Apostle Paul tells us that God comforted him, so that he might be able to comfort others with the same comfort he had received. God allowed painful trials into Paul’s life, so that his need would drive him to the God of all comfort. So that … he could authentically comfort others.

Now, let’s get real world. I have a few “so that” scenarios in my own life (I bet you do too). My first-born daughter, Tiffany Anne, died at three days old… Gut-punch excruciating. As I look back at that tragedy, it was through her death that I gave my life to Christ.

So that I might surrender to the Saviour… and glorify God.

Foot prints

Fourteen years later, I gave birth to a still-born son. Yet another horrific ache that words cannot adequately express. I can’t as easily see the “why” of his death, but through such profound loss, God has graced me with authentic empathy and compassion for others who suffer and long to know “why.”

So that I might share the comfort I received… and glorify God.

Heart surgery aftermath

Just over a year ago I suffered a health emergency that nearly took my life, and that included months of rehabilitation. Out of that trial came more empathy and a devotional book (Stony Paths, learning to trust Him on the stony paths of real life) with a message of encouragement for those who walk through their own stony paths

So that I might offer authentic hope… and glorify God.

And of course, the ultimate, so that, is Jesus Christ giving His life as a ransom for us. Living a sinless life, suffering, dying and rising from the dead … so that you and I might have a way to the Father.

Let’s bring it back home. What “so that” situations have been allowed into your life? Think it through. Hold them up to the light. Is there a tragedy or a difficulty that God has graced you with so that….? Allow Him to use your life, and all you’ve endured, as a display of His glory.

We must understand that for God to give “songs in the night,” He must first make it night.

C. H. Spurgeon

Father, Oh how I long to bring glory to Your great name!  I hand You all that has touched my life, use it as an illustration of Your goodness, faithfulness and a display of Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

When Pain Steals our Voice

I cry aloud to God, and He will hear me. In the day of my trouble, I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted…I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Then I said, “I will appeal to this, to the years of the right hand of the Most High.” I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.

Psalm 77:1-2, 4a, 10-12 ESV

If you’ve ever experienced gut-wrenching, this-can’t-be-happening pain, you will appreciate the Psalmists raw honesty in his words of anguish. Crying out to the Most High for comfort and probably a miracle, yet the continuing pain caused him to spiral to the edge of being unable to even speak. At one point he begins questioning if God is listening at all, and ends up wondering if the promises of God are no longer valid. For him. For his circumstance. Pain so intense, it steals our voice. Even to pray…

Have you been there? I admit I have.

One thing I so appreciate about the Psalms is that they never leave us there. We are onlookers of the raw reality of the people of God wrestling out real pain and heartache, against the backdrop of God’s faithfulness. Read further, and we’ll see how the Holy Spirit enabled Asaph (the one who penned this Psalm) to go from hopeless to the Truth that God is guiding our footsteps, even when encountering the painful and stony paths of real life. And for that reason, there is hope. We are not left to the whims of the enemy or chance or happenstance.

Right in the middle of his anguish, we see him apply mental breaks and choose to reroute his thinking. Nearly forcing himself to remember the past deeds of the Lord, the past record of His faithfulness. Deed by miraculous deed, calling to mind the greatness of our God. This did not cause his trial to evaporate, instead, it enabled him to put it in the proper perspective and regain his trust in the trustworthy God we serve. In spite of all that appeared wrong and painfilled.

Let’s bring this back to our lives, what will we do when our day of trouble comes? Let me encourage you (as I encourage myself) to grab a Bible, open to Psalm 77 and read aloud His Word. I pray we too will walk away knowing that even in this, He is guiding our steps. He is listening to our silent cries and He is aware.

“God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.”  – Charles Spurgeon

Oh Father, Help me remember, to purposefully force my focus, onto all that You have done, all that You are doing. And rest that You are the same God today as You were then. I choose to trust You and, in Your faithfulness, whatever the outcome. I bow in worship to You, my Father and my God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Because You Prayed

Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, “Because you have prayed to Me …”

The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

Isaiah 37:21a NASB     James 5:16a NASB

In the middle of the crisis, it just didn’t occur to me. Busily making decisions and finding solutions as I dealt with the reality in front of me, I forgot all about praying. Only as the crisis subsided did it occur to me that I had completely forgotten … to pray. Not even a whisper of, “Help, Lord!” came from my lips or heart. Honestly, I would like you to think I’m so spiritual that it’s always my first response, but it’s not. Try as I might, there are (many) times when I react, rather than pray, and then ask God to bless my hurried response.

 While reading through the OT book of Isaiah I noticed a stunning phrase that leapt off the page at me. “Because you have prayed to Me”… The LORD goes on to express what He will do for King Hezekiah simply because he prayed. This praying king is confronted with a physical army coming against him on the outside, along with taunts intended to strike a paralyzing fear within him. The army’s leaders mock the king for trusting in God, “After all”, they tell him, “Have any other nations so-call gods, saved them? What makes you think your god will be any different?”

“Because you have prayed to Me“… I picked up the phrase and held it to the light, taking in the depth of truth embedded within. Wondering out loud I asked, “Father, why does prayer move Your hand?” His Spirit spoke this simple thought to my heart; To pray is to trust.

To pray is to humble ourselves and acknowledge that we need Him. That He alone has the answers. Prayer breathes out the truth that He is mighty and able to answer and able to help us. Even if His answer is “no”, or “not yet.”

Our only guaranteed outcome is that He is always good,
and always faithful. And we can trust Him.

Becky White

God went on to give King Hezekiah a tremendous victory that day. Through this praying king’s real-life crisis, I am reminded that our God’s mighty hand is moved through simple, trusting prayer.

Whatever crisis you’re facing, whether it’s monumental in scope or a pebble-in-the-shoe irritation, pray. Right now, this moment, unburden your heart. I don’t know how He will respond, but this I know … He will respond … and He will honor your faith to seek His face.

Prayer is my acknowledgement that I need God, while my lack of prayer reveals the opposite.

Becky White

Father, please forgive my pride, I know that’s the real issue of my heart. Go ahead, do whatever it takes to remind me of this truth – I need You. Period. For all things and in everything. Forgive my self-sufficient attitude. I lay _____________ in Your hands, please move in that situation, Father. Thank You. In Jesus’ name, Amen

What’s the Goal?

Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Isaiah 43:7 ESV 1,  Corinthians 10:31

While serving and chatting with friends, my raspy, and newly baritone voice, gave evidence to the cold I’d been fighting all week. Amidst the, “I’ll pray for you” and, “Oh, you sound awful,” came something along these lines. “I pray that stuff away, it can’t come on me.” The words were pregnant with the implied idea that sicknesses (or any “difficult” thing) are always something that we ought to/should be able to pray away.

The poor guy had no idea what puddle he’d just stepped into.

Thus began my short, but penetrating theological dive into the value of life’s thorns and struggles. My main point to him was this; our life is for one purpose. To bring Him glory. Sometimes, that is best achieved through a miraculous healing or intervention, but much more often, God’s glory is manifested in how He walks us through life’s inevitable challenges. As those around us see His peace in the midst of our pain, His comfort as we grieve, or His strength as we handle years-long trials … He receives glory and we are provided with a unique opportunity to testify of His faithfulness, not to always remove our difficulties, but to walk us through them. And that speaks volumes to a hurting world.

I don’t say this lightly, because I know from experience that trials can be severe. And painful. And gut wrenching. Maybe you do too. Much more so than fighting my trivial cold. But the goal is always, the same – His glory. Not a particular outcome, not our happiness or even the happiness of someone we love. Whatever it takes, with whatever instrument He chooses, may His glory be displayed in our lives.

True, this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pray or ask for specific outcomes, but it does mean that the specific-outcome-request, should end with, “Whatever will bring You the most glory, Lord. That’s my goal, to honor You.”

Let’s be challenged to look our trials full in the face, and ask ourselves, “Am I allowing God to use this circumstance for His glory or am I focused solely on praying my way out of it?” And in the process, getting angry, or feeling neglected, or impatient as weeks drag into months or years? Hey, no judgement call here, I’ve been there a time or two or ten. But we must not allow ourselves to camp there. We lay our request in His sovereign and all-knowing hands and trust that He will work it all out for our good and His glory. Even death. Even a prison sentence. Even betrayal. Even dashed expectations. And yes, even the sniffles.

“I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.”

Corrie Ten Boom

Father God, I am so very thankful, so very grateful for Your mercy and grace. Though I definitely prefer a problem-free life, it’s an honor for the challenges swirling around me, to be used to bring glory to Your name. Thank You precious Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

*For in-depth study on this topic, check out 1 Peter 3 and 4 and James 1. As well as the real-life Biblical stories of Job, and most importantly, of our Lord Himself. For a modern-day example, investigate the true story of Pastor Andrew Brunson.

Crisis Management

I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 

This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him.

Psalm 34:4,6a NKJV

The thought for the following devotional came to my mind while in deep thought during my commute home from work. Mentally rehearsing a conversation in which a (very) good-intended friend asked me about a long standing challenge in my life. Struggling how and what to answer, not because I didn’t have an answer, but because I was sure my answer would sound trite or possibly even callous. And most definitely not “super-spiritual.” So, with that as the back-drop, I shared with them and now you, how I face, and more importantlty, keep facing… day after day, year after year, the painful reality confronting me. Maybe you can relate.

First and foremost, we must admit the hard reality in front of us. Though it’s tempting, we dare not deny the truth. A cancer diagnosis, an unwanted divorce, addiction, family estrangement or financial collapse, the list of possibilities is endless. But we dare not camp there. No pitching tents and staring at the problem round a camp fire of emotional pain and woe-is-me thinking.

We must face it. But we must not live in it. Knee deep in the mire of I-cant-believe-this-is-happening mind set will destroy us and will sideline us in our walk with and service to our Lord.

In my own hard-reality circumstance, I have learned (continue to learn!) the danger of staring at the problem rather than my Lord and His promises. Becoming overwhelmed and unable to be of use for anyone or anything as I allow myself to be overcome by the reality of the absolutely heartbreaking situation. As facts mount, I fall for the enemy’s trap of leaving God out of the equation. He made made heaven and earth, surely He can handle my challenges. And yours. (Psalm 146:6)

No, I’m not ignoring the truth or hiding behind Christianeze expressions that pretend a problem-free life can be had with “just the right prayer.” Neither am I finding peace in a bowl of my favorite peanut butter ice cream (yes…I’ve done that a time or two). By His grace, I face the raw reality head on and then turn to my Lord, my precious, faithful Lord, and commit “it” to Him. Sometimes several times a day. But always handing it back to Him.

God’s Word doesn’t promise His children a problem free life, but He does promise to remove the sting…the fear of “it.” As we choose, and that’s a tough one, to stare at Him and His faithfulness rather than our pain, or laundry list of questions, the sting of fear and “what if,” melts away. Knowing that He holds our lives in His hands, no matter the outcome, provides a calm peace, in an anything but peaceful and calm circumstance.

As C.H. Spurgeon has so eloquently put it, “The sovereignty of God is the pillow on which I lay my head.”

Whatever your crisis, or crisis of someone you love, face it and then hand it… to your faithful and sovereign Lord.

“Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race set out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus…so that we will not grow weary and loser heart.” – Hebrews 12:1, 2a and 3b

Father God,  I choose to trust You with this unspeakable challenge in front of me. Thank You for Your faithfulness no matter the outcome. How I love You Lord! In Jesus’ name, I pray amen

Wrapped in a Bow

(An Easter devo)

God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 NASB 1995

To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Isaiah 61:3 KJV

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB 1995

I strategically placed a bright yellow stuffed chick, peanut butter and chocolate eggs, and candy filled, pastel colored plastic eggs in a basket. All surrounded by handfuls of fruit-flavored jelly beans, nestled in neon colored “grass.” Smiling, I stood back to admire the grandkid’s Easter baskets, knowing how excited they will be to tear into the carefully crafted baskets. The only thing lacking was a beautiful bow. And I was fresh out.

Real life comes with lots of no-bow-in-sight scenarios doesn’t it?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if life always came complete with wrapped-in-a-bow endings? But that’s not reality, is it? Even for followers of Jesus Christ, if you’ve lived longer than ten minutes, you understand that no one is exempt from the pain of life. Because of sin, life often comes to us with the somebody-forgot-the-bow disappointments and the “cracked eggs” of childhood challenges, addiction, abuse, regret, rejection, depression, fear, disappointments or (you fill in the blank). Wrapped in a bow, it’s not.

But even in the midst of that reality, our God is so good. So faithful. He uses the cracked eggs of bitter disappointment and regret, or the somebody-forgot-the-bow pain of addiction, despair and hopelessness. Giving us beauty for ashes as He causes all things to work together for our good and His glory. Offering us not just a new beginning, but a new birth. A new life. And this was all made possible by the no-bow-anywhere-in-sight crucifixion of our Lord. The great exchange. Taking on Himself our sin and offering us His righteousness. But just like the Easter basket gift, we must reach out and take the gift offered us.

I would love to tell you, that accepting this gift will wrap every life circumstance in a big, beautiful, bow, but we both know that isn’t true. What this gift will provide is eternal life … along with strength, wisdom, soul-deep peace, and authentic hope as you walk through the challenges of real life. And when the time comes for you to breath your last breath here, you will experience your first breath in His Presence. I’m sure He’ll have lots of bows!

“God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.’”

Billy Graham

Lord Jesus, Please give us eyes to see You, even in the no-bow-in-sight situations of real life. Enable us to trust You, even when all around us are cracked-egg difficulties or I-don’t-understand trials. Thank You for taking our sin and giving us Your Righteousness. We are so thankful, Lord!  In Jesus’ name, Amen.
