Summary

After America’s World Cup victory over Australia last Friday, Christian Pulisic shared a photo on Instagram showing several US players gathered in a circle on the field, their heads bowed in prayer. His teammate Mark McKenzie responded by referencing Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 and its reminder that “a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (v. 12). However, such faith is no guarantee that Christians will not suffer and struggle as do others. If faith does not protect us from trials, what good is it? You may be facing challenges today for which your faith does not seem relevant. You may even be suffering because of your faith. If not today, perhaps tomorrow. Today, let’s respond with wisdom that leads to the hope our hearts need most. About Denison Forum and The Daily Article Today's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.
