Dave Barr was quickly making his way up the corporate ladder. There was a yearning in his heart, however, for more. He explains, “It was at age 25 when I was in California, I was so backslidden I wouldn’t go to church but four or five times a year. My life was going good. You hear so many people come to Christ when their life’s really down, but, my life was going good. My job was blessed, I had great relationships, I asked one of my co-workers, “Are there any churches near where I live in Mission Viejo?” Dave proceeded to visit that church and a domino effect transpired. One act of faith can be the trigger to living the life you were destined to live. “But,” you say, “how do I get there?” Like Dave, take the initiative. Go to Jesus. Acts 17:26-27 says, God determined the times set for us and the exact places where we should live. The Lord did this so that we would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him. God has a reason why you are where you. Seek him and find out more!

Patrick Zukeran is a Christian apologist, author and acclaimed speaker. He speaks tenderly about a situation he encountered. He shares, “Jean was walking with the Lord seeking to serve him. One night, her oldest son who was a leader in the church youth group, went out driving and crashed into a telephone pole. He was killed. Going through the pain of loss and struggling through depression, her husband left her.” Jean experienced dark loneliness and despair, the kind that rattles your faith where you wonder if you were ever a believer in the first place. These are times when we’ve felt that God is silent. Why didn’t he answer my prayers? Patrick reminds us, first, we are not alone. Second, even people in the Bible experienced it. King David wrote in Psalm 23:4 God is with you “Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” This is so even when you can’t feel it.
