God is in Control: My Unshakable Peace When the Storm Comes

by Charles F. Stanley

You see, we discover things about ourselves in the deepest, darkest valley experiences. We discover how much real courage we have. We discover the degree of our faith. We discover the focus of our faith. We discover if our self-image is based in Him, or in somebody else, or in what other people think. We discover the true nature of our character.

We discover what our real value system in life is all about. We discover what are our real priorities in life.

God wants us to live in absolute confidence—unwavering, unswerving confidence that if He says He’s going to do a thing, we know He’s going to do it. It doesn’t make any difference whether or not the world agrees.
