While sailing on a ship tossed by stormy seas, John Wesley marveled at the faith of the Moravians as they sang their hymns to God in praise. Later he asked their leader, Peter Boehler, how did they have such faith. His response to Wesley was to "Preach faith until you have it, and when you have it, preach it." I needed faith to believe that my season would change. As I walked through months of sorrow at the loss of loved ones, recovered from various injuries, and cared for a chronically ill father, I found peace in the simple things-scriptures, movies, nature, worship, and conversation. "Do not be afraid of change. God uses the silences to force us to draw closer to Him and for us to get His plan for our lives." This is one of the steps identified as you face the giants in your life. Change is difficult. The wilderness is difficult. However, the meditations in Simple Treasures will help you to navigate the wilderness as you reach toward your destiny. The word of God and the people of faith can be your support as God leads you to a new vocation.
