I was doing my Bible study this morning and a thought came across my mind. Lately the world seems like a pretty scary place. Shooting in movie theaters, droughts, economic depression, the list goes on and on. Then I thought about my response to these challenges. Could God create beauty from these ashes. By falling to guilt, anger, fear and shame. I was preventing others from seeing God's presence and power in my life. We live in a fallen world God did not allow or want these thing to occur but, he can turn the ashes into something of beauty.
