The Word reveals to us that we will never have all the answers.
God has set boundaries on our knowledge. We don't control the timing of what happens to us each day.
Yet, God is working around us all the time. He whispers, Slow down, and you will find me.
Some answers will never be ours. That's when we must step out in faith and release control unto Him.
That's the mystery of God's Secret Places ... of being a Christian and choosing a life based on the Bible instead of the world.
I want this book to challenge you to choose Wonder over Worry, to bask in God's Season, and let your life's story be written by the One who delivers us from a life of sin and shame.
Choose to trust in God. He alone deserves our adoration.
A Message from the Desk of Tim Barker:
God's mystery can be a tool to increase our faith in Him.
When life seems to swirl around you, and you feel lost, know that you are never invisible to God. Open your heart. Trust Him. Place your confidence in the One that never leaves your side.
Let Him write your story. Give Him total control. He will keep you wrapped in His loving hands.
Tim R. Barker, D. Min.
