About this ebook
The Bible clearly does not pull any punches when it comes to the troubles of this world that will regularly test our faith and challenge our resolve to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Job 14:14 assures us that if we are born of woman, it is in our best interest to maximize each moment of our lives and soldier up, because we will most assuredly wrestle against the principalities and powers that seek to wreak havoc on every aspect of our lives.
How I Got Over: A Short Story Devotional for the Difficult Days of Life is a realistic depiction of some of the most overwhelming challenges that I have confronted in various seasons of my life. It addresses times in my life when I was used, misused, and forsaken by people closest to my heart. It tells of times when I made reckless personal sacrifices to add value to the productivity, profitability, and innovation of companies – only to have those companies usher me out of the building, under the guise of reduction in force or some other euphemistic rationale that would make them feel better about themselves and keep their companies out of court. As you continue to turn the pages, you will hear of times when religion and morally objectionable conduct severely undermined my marital relationship. This short story devotional also speaks to unrelenting thorns in my flesh and fears of living lonely and of dying alone.
Trust me when I tell you, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair!” I’ve been in some storms that almost took me out and under. And I am confident that I am not the only one out here being battered about by great afflictions. The seemingly unrelenting circumstances of life will invariably test the wit, will, and resolve of us all. Tests and trials are inevitable, folks. No one (regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or zip code) exits this world without battle scars. No one! So what's a soul to do?
When life is coming at you with a vengeance, resist the urge to give up or give in to its fury. Instead, lift your eyes unto the hills, cry out to the heavens, and trust God to come to your rescue. Trust him to bring you out and over, because he most assuredly will!
