Because it was only a means that God came through. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/escaping-the-flood-or-not-6435 2011-09-09T09:32:38-05:00 It's eternally important that you answer the door and let Jesus save you. The Bible cries out, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart" (Hebrews 4:7 ). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/is-your-dog-walking-you-6402 2011-08-08T11:49:31-05:00 God's fullest blessing comes through His gifts, not through men's loans. Besides, you look silly being run all over by a debt that you should be running. Remember that the next time you see a dog walking a man. That could be you and your debts. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/not-in-charge-after-all-6395 2011-08-08T11:42:53-05:00 Times like these are wakeup calls, and we ought to pick up the phone. It might be God on the other end reminding us that He's God and we're not. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/daddy-s-smile-6321 2011-04-04T10:17:10-05:00 Maybe there's an area of your life right now that's particularly frustrating, and you've tried everything. You've worked harder, you've planned, you've used every trick you know. Could it be you're missing God's blessing on it? Is there in that part of your life something He can't bless: an attitude, a secret sin, a relationship, a method you are using to go about getting it, an untruth maybe? So often the answer to frustration is not greater effort, it's greater obedience. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/treasure-in-your-desert-6241 2010-12-13T10:40:07-05:00 Just in case you're not sure you can make it through this desert, listen to what your Heavenly Father will do for you there: Deuteronomy 1:31 says, "In the desert...you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way." And like any tired little child, you’ll go much farther with your Father carrying you than you could ever go on your own. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/why-your-nest-doesn-t-feel-right-6219 2010-11-30T15:30:12-05:00 God has much more of Him that He wants you to experience, but it will only happen as you move beyond all your usual security blankets and abandon yourself to total trust in Him. He has so much more He wants to do with your life, but it is beyond your comfort zone. http://ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3042 2010-11-04T12:24:19-05:00 In this study guide Stephen D. Eyre leads you to explore the story told in Deuteronomy--the story of God's people seeking after him. As you trace their journey, experiencing their forward progress, their detours and their obstacles, you, too, will learn to follow God more closely. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/preparing-for-the-worst-6182 2010-09-23T12:08:18-05:00 No matter what hits you, God is no less in charge; His plan is no less on target. Things may be out of your control, but they're never out of His control. If you trust Him, He will give you just the equipment you need for the battle you're facing, because God's plan will not lead you where His grace cannot keep you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-bread-for-tomorrow-5955 2009-11-06T09:17:16-05:00 Maybe you've been let down by others in the past, and maybe you're often anxious about whether you'll have what you need and you'll have it when you need it. With God as your Heavenly Father, with you as His child purchased with the life of His Son, that's unnecessary worry. And in a sense, it's an insult to the God you belong to. You are living with the greatest security in the world. You are living from hand to mouth. From His hand to your mouth, and what you need for tomorrow is as good as already in your hand.
