How can we live above the problems of everyday life? Habakkuk tells us how, and it’s all about getting God’s perspective. There is unspeakable joy in embracing, accepting, and submitting to whatever “burden” God has called each of us to endure. With His help, we can live above it!

Jill taught this message at a conference on the spiritual art of leadership.

The "towers" of salvation history of which Paul wrote are "The Epiphany of Grace" (v.11) and "The Epiphany of Glory." (v.13) In between these monumental events we are called "to say 'No' to ungodliness" and to nurture "godly lives in this present age." (v.12)

The Word of God tells us that there are two life roads—one leads to eternal life, the other to eternal death. There is an art to staying on the right road. There will be pitfalls and enemies who seek to trip us up and distract, divert, and destroy us along the way.
