Start your day off with this 1 minute devotional from Pastor Mike Fabarez of Focal Point Radio Ministries.

Guest (Male): Here's Mike Fabarez, Bible teacher on Focal Point.

Mike Fabarez: Author C.S. Lewis once wrote that Jesus is either a lunatic, a liar, or the Lord. And something similar could be said about the book that records his life and his ministry. You see, either the Bible was written by delusional authors describing events that never really happened or it's some kind of well-crafted hoax intended to mislead people. The only other option is that the scripture is true and an accurate record of God's revelation. God speaking through Peter in 2 Peter 1:20 and 21 says, no prophecy of scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation, for prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

God has NOT let go!

When life beats you up, trusting God isn't always instinctual. Maybe it's a diagnosis you never saw coming or you watched a loved one struggle with pain you couldn't fix. In seasons like this, trusting God is hard. The Psalms have always been a refuge for believers during trying times. They teach us how to lean on God in the middle of our trials.


If you want to grow your faith in the midst of your struggles, be sure to request the book Psalms of Trust by H.B. Charles.
