Are you in a hard place today? Maybe it's a place of disaster or lack; fear or helplessness; bitter betrayal or crushing disappointment. In the midst of that place, God wants you to know that there is hope for a way out. He is ready, willing and able to rescue you and bring you out on top, no matter what you’re facing.
