“Those are the glories of God.†“The what?†“The glories of God,†Sue said, pointing to the sunbeams shining through the clouds. Wow! I didn’t know I could see the glories of God. Sue should know.

The Power of Faith
Sometimes we fail to appreciate the power of faith in our life. Faith is not always something you can put your finger on or describe in long sentences. Faith at times reaches beyond a certain task or attainment, but is a deep-seated knowing that you are destined and ordained according to the purpose of God.

On a radio program the other day, I heard something that got my attention.
