See. Stand. Trust.
How do we as Christians respond to desperate circumstances in life when we see no way out, when we see no hope this side of heaven? We need to first see, then stand, and finally trust.

How long will it take for us to realize that we are God's agents of light? It is through the channels of our daily lives that He shines the light of His message of love in the world today. So how do we become agents of light? How do we penetrate the marketplace? How can we bring glory to God and touch the lives of the people we meet and mingle with on a daily basis in a positive life-changing, eternity-altering way?
There is a great need for refreshed hearts in our day and so the need for believers like Philemon is quite evident. There are many people with heavy hearts. Hearts that are discouraged, possibly through disillusionment or frustration. Hearts that have become hardened. And this is talking about believers – Christ followers – it’s much worse for those who do not have their hope in Christ. As disciples of Jesus we have the awesome privilege of bringing refreshment to the hearts of God’s people, just as we find rest, and refreshment in Him.
