The Psalmist wrote:
Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable?
Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his promises at an end for all time?
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger shut up his compassion?

There are some things we can’t change and some things we can. Learning the difference and adjusting accordingly is in large part one of the secret’s of a happy life. Let me list a few and you’ll see what I mean.
My friend Casey Graham is a game changer. When he passionate about something, he doesn’t just talk about it, he does something. This past week, Casey’s home state of Alabama was devastated by one of the worst tornado disasters in history. Â Knowing that in any disaster, the greatest need is always money. Money allows the team on the ground to do what is necessary to address the greatest needs. In just 24 hours, this effort has raised over $75,000. Â You can read more about it HERE. Casey is working through Cross Point Church in Decatur, Alabama.
Casey has set up a leadership team to oversee this process. He’s asked me to be a part of that team. You can read about that HERE.
He’s challenging churches and others to be a part. Read the latest challenge HERE.
There are many great efforts out there. Americans show their generosity during times like this. Casey is attempting to assist people without insurance or under insured. If you’d like to help, click HERE.

Don’t let the title of this post upset you just yet…
God is fully God.
There’s no way to describe the greatness, majesty, holiness, perfection, bigness of God…
You could spend eternity…and will…trying to figure God out completely or fully comprehend the depths of His love, power, and grace.
But I wonder sometimes…
If you are following this series of Scripture memory verses, I hope they are making a difference in your life. Isn’t that the end goal of God’s Word?
This week’s verse, if we truly applied it to our life, and practiced it, could change all we are this week.
Here is this week’s memory verse:
Healthy teams have some things in common with other healthy teams.
Healthy teams:
Let’s be honest…
It is easier to create a rule than it is to extend grace…
When someone does something wrong…
Grace is not the easy response…
Grace is the harder option…
Grace grants a pardon…

Don’t be afraid of those times in the wilderness…
When you can’t seem to hear from God…
When nothing seems to make sense in your life…
When there’s a nervousness about your future…
When you sense something is about to change…
When there’s a new stirring in your heart…
When you are tempted to become fearful…
In my experience…
God uses those times to prepare you for better times…

When they had crucified Him, they divided up His clothes by casting lots. Matthew 27:35 NIV
The baby was born. It seems we just celebrated His birth a few months ago. He was laid in a borrowed manger. He grew in wisdom and stature. He fulfilled all prophecy that was written about Him.
He performed many miracles. He did only the will of His Father. He never sinned. He cared for the sick. He loved the poor.
He taught the disciples. He baptized many.
