Lifted Up Rick Millikin

Have you ever had a close friend betray you? What can heal that heartbreak? 

Sometimes, I realize that I’m seeking comfort for myself and my family, more than I am trying to help bring comfort to others. Does that ever happen to you? Are you willing to admit it? 

Have you ever felt that whether you are going forward or looking backward, God is nowhere to be found? Even if you believe in your heart He is working, it can be difficult when we cannot see how He is moving.

In life and in faith, there are times we need to step back and gain perspective—to take the bird’s eye view. While our immediate circumstances may be discouraging, we can be encouraged by considering the bigger picture, God’s View of Things.

Hebrews chapter 11 is often called the “honor roll of faith.” When you read the entire chapter, you see example after example of biblical heroes whose lives modeled faith in God. They were running the race. 

Are you troubled about your work? Your marriage? Your kids? Your friendships? Your health? Your future?
