Do You Ever Feel that Life is Just Caving In on You?

I recently was facing a four-figure financial ‘cave-in’ of sorts, and was feeling very stressful about it. God, why are You allowing this to happen to me, your most humble of servants? Then I saw a friend dealing with a seven-figure ‘cave-in’, that made my situation look a whole lot easier to face. Then soon after that I saw another friend have a ten-figure ‘cave-in’, that made my personal crisis look about as stressful as a vacation on a cruise ship! We all deal at times with financial, relational, physical, spiritual or ministry ‘cave-in’ experiences. They can come unexpectedly. Without warning. Question is how do we handle them. Do we give up and stay buried in the rubbish heap and debris, or stand up, dust ourselves off and find out what the Divine purpose and strategy was behind allowing the ‘cave-in’?

A couple of weeks ago, while visiting with my friend Tommie Naumann (pastor in Thessaloniki, Greece), he shared the following video with me about something actually happening in our generation in the city of Cairo, Egypt.

Here is a two part video that will help us all to appreciate the hand of the Lord behind the ‘cave-in’:

That was truly amazing! Who would have ever thought that you could build such a magnificant church in a cave in the ground. What a mighty God we serve! Our prayers continue to be with you my Brother. Continue to faithfully and fearlessly serve God and He will be faithful to honor and reward you in this lifetime. I’m proud of you and deeply respect you. Many blessings.

Dominique, Thank you for your kind words! This video (about the Cave Church) was a gem that the Lord brought on my path during the mission’s trip to not only encourage us, but to let us know that He will, without a doubt, use whoever makes themselves available for His purposes. So, let’s get on to the next level! Blessings!
