Title: Living in The Workshop of God

Text: Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 2:13

Maybe God is using uncertainty and the unknown so that we can experience him as the Almighty Counselor. Perhaps God works in the midst of sickness or an accident to show Himself as the Great Physician. Maybe God is working in our loneliness to drive us to Him as our Immanuel, God with ...
