Sometimes life
throws ugly balls at us. Ones we may never be able to catch no matter how
experienced we are at a handball game. It is in moments like this that we may
desire a real life example of others who successfully caught the kind of ugly
ball life threw at us.
The Bible has
several example of ordinary people who caught life’s ugly balls through faith .
In as much as their situations may not be exactly like ours; we can definitely
draw inspiration from their successful ball catch as we stretch our hands
bravely towards the balls life throw at us.
As you go through
these examples of faith, I’ll like you to look critically at your own situation
and decide on new and creative ways you can put your faith to work in your
situation.

makes life worth living (Hebrews 11:1-msg)

of God isn’t hindered by distance nor time (Mathew 8:5-13)
