First, the pandemic, a crisis that none of us have experienced before, which impacts every part of our lives. Then we add racial violence. On top of that, we add supply disruptions and an erratic economy. The politics of our country divide us. An aggressive Russian military kills many Ukrainians and drives millions from their homes to become refugees in other countries. Now, the horrific, growing levels of gun violence and deaths. Classroom killings of young children threatens to overtake our emotional exhaustion.
How do we endure it all?
What do we do when life seems to be unraveling?
As long as we look at our circumstances, we can easily get depressed.
In the Bible, God uses the word picture of a “rock” to mean something or someone that is dependable and unchanging. The psalmist calls God “the rock” or “my rock.” The following verse describes who God wants to be in each of our lives.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Psalm 18:2)
He is The One who protects us, delivers us, and is our safe place. A rock is solid and doesn’t change. The description of Jesus portrays this concept. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
With a world that is in constant change, we have The One who does not change. When we are focused on The One, we can have peace and hope, regardless of how much our world changes.
When we seem overwhelmed, we can go to Him. We can seek Him through His Word. We can be assured of His love and compassion for us.
We continue to pray that we will be able to return to Zambia soon and start taking teams again. The needs have grown greatly since the secondary school was added. Please pray for the students, teachers, and their support.
Please let us know how you are doing. Our office is only open by appointment but you can email us at info@livingwellokc.org. We are no longer taking new appointments, but will see people that we have seen in the past.

The water that I will give him will
become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.

LIVING WELL is a life source, not a life style.
