She also asked me  if I thought God would protect his children from disaster if another  Great Depression did come. The answer to whether or not we will see  another Depression is not one that any of us can know until we\u2019re  in its throes. And who\u2019s to say the U.S. hasn\u2019t already entered  a new dark chapter. But the second question is clearly answered when  placed under the microscope of scripture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">I have to say that I\u2019ve never  suffered so much as when I surrendered all to Christ and followed him  in full time service. I\u2019ve never known so much disappointment, grief,  and, at times, a strong sense of abandonment. While under the weight  of loss and failure, there were those who would give us a \u201cword from  the Lord,\u201d yet nothing changed. I watched my bank account dwindle  and then stood paralyzed as our daughter was lost to eternity following  what should have been a little fender bender. So if surrendering your  will and your pocketbook to God brings you prosperity and blessings,  I must have missed class on that day. One thing was clear, that I had  a choice. I could choose to fear and cower or place my confidence in  the One who seemed to have abandoned me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">Confidence and fear are two  polar opposites. We only have to go as far as the apostle Paul to understand  that the riches of faith are tied to earthly trials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">God specifically sent Paul  into Philippi knowing that it would be at great cost to Paul, but of  rich value to Christ\u2019s higher purposes. Notice that the only \u201cword  from the Lord\u201d is one that seemingly sent Paul into disaster. The  Spirit of God blocked Paul from going into Asia and Bithynia. He sent  Paul a vision of a man inviting him to bring the gospel into Macedonia.  Confidence was filling Paul\u2019s heart; but not in whether or not he\u2019d  find support to build a flourishing mega-church. His confidence was  in trusting God to lead and he obeyed no matter what the cost. What  followed would be considered a miserable failure by today\u2019s standards  of successful ministries. Paul arrived in Philippi to find only a small  group of Jews praying at the city gate. There were not enough of them  to form a synagogue. Paul then entered Philippi and wound up in jail. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">It\u2019s curious then that there  is a book of the Bible called Philippians. Why would a church birthed  of a failed leader make it on the blip of Church history in Paul\u2019s  epistles?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">It is because that even in  what should have been Paul\u2019s deepest apology for having humiliated  them all by winding up in prison that he pens these famous words from  his cell:<br \/>\u201dI thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer  with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation  in the gospel from the first day until now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      <span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">For  I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in  you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">Paul continues to shower the  Philippian believers with words of great love and affection for them  and expressing his yearning to be with them. From a jail cell, he encourages  them to pass on the love he has showered on them. Then he explains with  great joy how he has shared his faith with the prison guards. He understood  fully why God had sent him straight to jail, to show forth God\u2019s love  in the midst of disaster. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">The events of Paul\u2019s visit  launched the church at Philippi. Paul\u2019s confidence was not in the  Roman treasury or the affluence of the city. The richness that resonates  in Paul\u2019s letter to Philippi comes from the Christ-empowered love  that pours out of Paul. His genuine love for them returns to him as  joy and that is his strength. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">In looking back over our trial,  those who we led to Christ and then equipped to serve him are the lives  that shine back to us out of our dark season. The love God poured out  on us was poured out on those whose path we crossed, and not by accident. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">When we understand scripture,  it becomes easy to tell the difference in these trying times in knowing  what is false and what is true. Our confidence is in Christ and the  love he pours through us so that it becomes a shower of love in our  community. It returns to us as joy. So any economic downturn is a time  for rejoicing as our neighbors can see the contrast in us while we all  face the same hurdles. Our response, because of Christ in us, is love  poured out on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">There\u2019s not a Depression  in the world that can stop that love feast once it is enacted through  trust in God. I\u2019m confident of that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;\">\u201cFor the LORD will be your  confidence And will keep your foot from being caught.\u201d Prov. 3:26<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;\">That gives me hope, Patricia.
