Do you need a new look at the faith stories in Scripture? On the next Live the Promise Susie is joined in-studio by Jon Bloom, President of Desiring God ministry. Jon’s written a book titled , and he’ll share how we can trust and walk by faith in Christ when circumstances threaten to overwhelm us.

Jon shares with Susie this passage from his book regarding disappointment…

“We seldom understand all of His purposes. When disappointment comes through an evil earthly cause, we need to call to mind the truth that Joseph discovered after being disappointed by his brothers, ‘You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.’ And in all cases, remember that in Christ, God is pursuing us only with goodness and mercy. His promise is this, He who did not spare His own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also graciously give us all things. Follow your emotion of disappointment to its roots. If you find unbelief and pride giving it life,  apply the herbicide of God’s promises to you.”
