[Discoveries] 11-01-08 Carrot cake -- Psalm 34:8

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Taste and see that the LORD is good ... -- Psalm 34:8*/

Some of you have tasted and seen that life is bad. Life is cruel. Life 
is unfair. But the Lord extends an invitation to experience something 
bigger than life. Taste and see that the LORD is good.

In our book, /Amazing Faith/, my coauthor Thomas Shaw tells the story of 
a woman who experienced one bad thing after another until finally she 
was flat on her back with a broken back and in great pain. A Christian 
radio station was on, but instead of bringing her comfort, it only 
brought her irritation. She longed to get up to turn it off, but she 
didn't have the strength to do so. So she was stuck listening to a crazy 
story about a woman making a carrot cake.

Carrot cake: The ingredients, by themselves, were disgusting. But, 
combined and baked, the product was delicious.

In her pain, this woman suddenly realized that the Lord was speaking to 
her. Her mouth was clamped down on one of the distasteful ingredients of 
life - and there was no room for her to taste the love of God.

Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
