Turning Your Pillow Into a Pillar

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

Have you ever gone through a season so difficult that, once it was over, you just wanted to erase it from your memory completely? When we experience pain, discomfort, or failure, our natural human instinct is to run from it, hide it, or throw it away. We want to leave the hardest parts of our story behind us as quickly as possible. But what if the very things that are causing you the most discomfort right now are the exact materials God wants to use to build your greatest testimony? Today, we are going to look at how encountering God's presence changes not just our perspective, but what we do with our pain.
