Ҳаётимизнинг ҳар бир босқичи ўзининг мураккабликлари ва ютуқлари билан турличадир. Қаноатланиш бу бизнинг ҳозирги ҳолатимиздаги Худонинг мақсадларига ишонишдир. Кўпчилигимиз бир неча ойдан кейин ёки ҳатто эртага қаерда бўлишимиз ёки нима қилишимизни билмаймиз.

Hayotimizning har bir bosqichi o’zining murakkabliklari va yutuqlari bilan turlichadir. Qanoatlanish bu bizning hozirgi holatimizdagi Xudoning maqsadlariga ishonishdir. Ko’pchiligimiz bir necha oydan keyin yoki hatto ertaga qayerda bo’lishimiz yoki nima qilishimizni bilmaymiz.

Once I heard a pastor say, “I’m tired of hearing people tritely use Romans 8:28.” So am I. But I am not tired of Romans 8:28 itself and pray that I never will be. When you use this powerfully explosive verse (and you should use it), handle it with care. But whatever you do, don’t stay away from it. 

A friend recently shared the following from Corrie ten Boom. What she had to say about worry and God’s provision is wonderfully applicable today, especially with the fears over the coronavirus.

In my book Heaven, I share how years ago, Nanci read me letters we’d never before seen translated, written in 1920 by her grandmother Anna Swanson to her family in Sweden. Anna suffered severe health problems. While she was in Montana, cared for by relatives, her husband, Edwin, was in Oregon, working and caring for their seven children day and night.

In 2020, Randy gave a message for the Kingdom Advisors 2020 Annual Conference on 1 Timothy 6.

I recently had the privilege of visiting the Joni and Friends headquarters in Agoura Hills, California. While I was there, I was asked to record a few episodes for their podcast, including one about the journey Nanci and I have been on since her diagnosis with colon cancer in early 2018.  We talked about our relationship, hope, and practical ways to encourage those who are facing similar challenges.

In my experience, when I have followed the Lord step by step, He has provided the courage I needed in increments. He’s the one who tells us, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).  

The idea that joy and happiness are synonyms can be radical to many readers. In response to a post I shared about happiness, a sincerely concerned person wrote me, “Joy, peace, and contentment do not equal happiness.” To some, the difference between the two words is as central as believing in the deity of Christ or the resurrection!
