“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10

General Ulysses S. Grant tried to break through the defense of Vicksburg, a critical Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi river. Over the course of a year he triedhead-on, going around, and spent months digging a new canal that changed the course of the river. He tried floating his boats into the city through over flooded land. Nothing worked until he made a move that was contrary to military thinking, floating his boats past the gun batteries guarding the river. Surviving a nighttime firefight, nearly all the boats made the run unharmed. Grant and his troops crossed the river some thirty miles downstream, landing at a place called Hard Times, Louisiana. It was by way of Hard Times they would fight their way to victory laying hold on Vicksburg.   God never promised you a life without controversy, reproaches, persecution, or distresses. He promised to empower you giving you strength in times of weakness.  According to the apostle Paul, it is the worst and the hardest of times that become the strongest of times. Even a dim bulb looks bright in darkness.   What battle is the toughest in war? THE BATTLE YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW. Many reading this are facing your deepest and toughest of life circumstances. Like Grant you have tried everything imaginable to keep you, your family, business, or church safe.  Sometimes you have to go straight toward the firing line to get a breakthrough for victory. You too may land at a place called “Hard Times”. Just be glad you landed.  Remember just because you are in hard times does not mean it is over. Pull up your boot straps soldier, put one foot in front of the other, and keep on marching. Your victory is waiting on you.   Our prayer for you this week: May you come to realize infirmities, reproaches, persecutions, and distresses are only the beginning of the victory that awaits you.

"She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes"

When Lord Byron penned this verse in 1832, I am almost positive he was referring to my 1993 Gibson Nighthawk Custom.
