God’s Glory Revealed: Stories of Trial and Triumph

By Martha Kalichman

Scripture encourages us to tell others of God’s wonderful deeds. As is evident in this collection of stories, God reveals that He continues to work in mighty ways beyond our imagination— and sometimes supernaturally.

These testimonies will inspire the reader to draw closer to God. They are a reminder that if we humbly seek Him, we will find Him. If we walk in obedience with Him, He will bring blessings. If we abide in Him, He will direct our path. If we listen to Him, He will teach us. If we forgive others, He will bring freedom to our souls. If we walk with Him, we will never be alone. If we call to Him and are troubled, He will comfort us. He will carry us on eagle’s wings and turn darkness into light.

Through believing and trusting in God during all seasons of life, He offers to give us His hope and peace.

Notes

Acknowledgments

I have enormous gratitude to those who graciously allowed me to share their stories—Alice, Janet, Mariela, Betty, Liz, Christina, Rita, Yousif, Josh, and Sarah. Many, many thanks also to those who assisted and encouraged me in this endeavor— Catherine Brennan, Sarah Kalichman, Liz Forman, Shari McRae, Carol Smithson, Jay Calhoun, Frank Caudle, and Kay Walsh. A special thanks to my husband, Michael, who has offered never-ending patience, assistance, and encouragement to me as I have pursued writing this book. Most importantly, I thank the Lord for revealing Himself in mighty ways and guiding me to write about His wonderful deeds.

Introduction

S cripture instructs us to tell of God’s wonderful deeds (Psalm 91:1). After hearing some amazing stories from friends, I found myself telling others about them. So, with their permission, I began writing these accounts to share, along with experiences that my family and I witnessed. Through God’s mighty ways, as is evident in this collection of stories, He reveals that He continues to work supernaturally today.

How wonderful it is to have a Savior who is always faithful and loving and cares for us! If we humbly seek Him, we will find Him.

If we walk in obedience with Him, He will bring blessings.

If we abide in Jesus, He will direct our path.

If we walk in blindness, He will open our eyes to His guidance.

If the stage in our life needs to be changed, He will set a new stage.

If we forgive others, He will bring freedom to our souls.

If we travel where He leads, we will never be alone.

If we cry to Him and are troubled, He will comfort us and bring us His peace.

If we listen to Him, He will teach us.

In the midst of turmoil, He will carry us on eagle’s wings and turn darkness into light.

As you step into the pages of these stories, I pray that the Lord will draw you closer to Himself. May He open your heart to His truths and strengthen your faith.
