Twice given, worth reading twice!

For the second time I have received the book entitled, "The Red Sea Rules". First given to me by Bill Walter, my mentor when I went through a very tough time when I left the pastorate and began a new life. Secondly, I received "The Red Sea Rules" by Dr. Bill Hossler, President of the Missionary Church, Inc. who is also a mentor aand great friend of mine. I really needed the second copy since the first copy went bye bye (up in flames) as you recall.

If you are going through a tough time please remember that the God who led you through the Red Sea will also lead you out.

This is a must read and something worth having a couple of copies of on hand for those special times when you need to help a fellow traveler.

Robert Morgan spells it out in "The Red Sea Rules" and makes the case that God leads in and out of all that we face in life.

Red Sea Rule #1
Realize that God means for you to be where you are.

Red Sea Rule #2
Be more concerned for God's glory than for you relief.

Red Sea Rule #3
Acknowledge your enemy, but keep your eyes on the Lord.

Red Sea Rule #4
Pray!

Red Sea Rule #5
Stay calm and confident, and give God time to work.

Red Sea Rule #6
When unsure, just take the next logical step by faith.

Red Sea Rule #7
Envision God's enveloping presence.

Red Sea Rule #8
Trust God to deliver in His own unique way.

Red Sea Rule #9
View your current crisis as a faith builder for the future.

Red Sea Rule #10
Don't forget to praise Him.

So thanks to my two great mentors, Bill Walter from Bethel College in Mishawaka, Indiana and Dr. Bill Hossler, President of the Missionary Church, Inc. who always seems to bring me back to what is really important as we walk through dark and trying times.

What do you think?
