"As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord" (James 5:10).
The prophets of old suffered hardship and demonstrated patience. Our new message series, "10 Who Overcame", is based on this idea. We sometimes look back on the heroes of the faith as if they weren't human. We forget that they sinned, that they struggled, and that they suffered just like we do. It's encouraging to read their stories and to see how they overcame. A pretty good list of biblical heroes is found in Hebrews 11.
Today, imagine that the Bible is still being written and that you are one of the characters that is being written about. Try writing down the details of your day--the good and the bad. At the end of the day--determine what the message of God is in your life today. What could others learn about God from your day?
Hope and Healing for the Broken and Bruised
