But we can still be happy because we know that our GOD is on the throne. He controls the universe. Heโ€™s our provider, our healer, our vindicator, and our way maker. We can be happy that the most powerful force in the universe is on our side. We can be happy that what was meant for harm, Heโ€™s turning to our advantage.

Itโ€™s the same principle in life.  We all have things that come against us - a medical issue, a business downturn, a child gets in trouble. Whatโ€™s going to determine whether or not you stand strong and outlast these storms is the depth of your roots. The reason some people are always upset, offended, and discouraged is that they only have surface roo...
