Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Mr. Chuck continues with surrender to God as we pick up in Joel chapter 2 verse 13 and now with today's message

here's pastor Chuck. God doesn't like to use harsh means he He only does so because he loves you so much that he can't let you just destroy yourself.

So when you are headstrong going your own path of destruction, God will sometimes use very severe

means to stop you and to get your attention. Maybe the death or the illness of someone that is very dear and close to you.

God is seeking.

God doesn't like to use those means.

But unfortunately, many times we are so dull in our spiritual sensitiveness that God has to use stringent measures before we ever respond. It repents him though. He doesn't

like using these kind of measures.

Turn to God for who knows, just what God will do in helping you, blessing you.

Who knows the blessings that God has in store for your life?

Who knows what glorious things God has in mind for you?

Surely I never dreamed in my wildest dreams all of the glorious blessed things God had for my life.
