2 Corinthians 1:6-11

"We should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead.- 2 Corinthians 1:9
In August 2009, Blair and Ronna Martin lost their energetic 9 year old son Matti when he was dragged to his death by a family and share in their grief. I know how tough this tragedy has been for them.
I also know that they are seeking God's care and comfort for their pain. An observation made by Matti's mother is valuable for anyone walking one of life's valleys. During one of her down times, Ronna was reading 2 Corinthian 1:9, which says that "we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead." She felt as if Jesus were telling her, "Ronna, I know the journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity fo Me to take charge of your life."
When the journey gets too tough to navigate, 2 Corinthian 1:9 is a reminder to us that we showed us His power in the resurrection, and who will demonstrate His power again when He raises believing loved ones of all generations to eternel life. " My strenght and my hope have to be in Christ alone," Ronna said. That's a thruth we all need as we travel the journey God has for us.
THE STORMS OF LIFE REMIND US TO TAKE SHELTER
IN LOVING ARMS OF OUR SAVIOUR.
