more encouraging words.. from Joel Oesteen


Joel Oesteen is this pastor from Texas USA. He was introduced to me by Taeim. He has his sermons online which is pretty good. The music are the usual we sing in church which makes it extra nice as well... I signed up for his little QT in my email and today's reading from Joel was about Habbakuk 3:17-18. i lifted below from the mail i received today... encouraging

“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior” Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NIV).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

The prophet Habakkuk knew what to do when things seemed completely hopeless. His world was literally falling apart. In fact, the situation was so bad it seemed trouble was bursting through the seams of his life. So what did Habakkuk do? He rejoiced and praised the Lord in spite of everything! That may seem contrary to you and even silly. But you have probably lost something or someone who is very dear to you, so you can know how Habakkuk was feeling. But follow the prophet's example. When something bad happens to you, thank God - not because you're suffering, but because you know He is still faithful and loving. God wants to bless you, and He can lift your head above any problem!

AMEN!!
oh he is having a service in london next friday! i am soooo going!. and taeim is so jealous of me!
