Conference Download, No. 1: Promise Over Pain

So many times, we have access to amazing teaching. It gets written down and then forgotten. If the information, lessons and challenges can be touched just one more time, maybe, just possibly, it’ll stick a little longer. Recently, I went to a conference with the women from my church. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be reviewing my notes on this platform.

27  Why do you say, O Jacob,
And speak, O Israel:
“My way is hidden from the Lord,
And my just claim is passed over by my God”?
28  Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to 
those who have no might He increases strength.

Isaiah 40:27-29, NKJV

We can focus so much on the pain that we miss the promise.

Jeremy Foster


We must never forget God always has our best interests in mind. His tactics may look vastly different than our own, in fact, they may make zero sense to us. But remember, His understanding is unsearchable. 

No matter how we feel, the promises of God never change. Celebrate when you feel weak and get ready to receive His power!

9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:9, (NKJV)
