"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life"

Father God, thank you for the love of the truth you have given me. Please bless me with the wisdom, knowledge and discernment needed to always present the truth in an attitude of grace and love. Use this blog and Northwoods Ministries for your glory. Help us all to read and to study Your Word without preconceived notions, but rather, let scripture interpret scripture in the presence of the Holy Spirit. All praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Ozzone 8-17 > Has God ever spoken a hard word to you? I hope so.

 


If you are really listening, you have probably heard Him speak a hard word. Once, when my wife was sick, in bed; we had 3 teens in the house and a 10-year-old with multiple handicaps. After 3 months I was exhausted and angry at God. I shook my fist at Him and asked why. He said very plainly, “You have not yet suffered unto blood!” 

Have you ever been slapped across the face with a cold, wet towel? I knew I was in for a very long haul in my striving against sin. 24 years later, I am still striving but grateful that God is doing such a work in me.
