It was a great devotional. If I had to pick a number 1 day that stuck with me if was May 19th.

"Out of the Wreck I Rise"
God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says-"I will be with him in trouble." It does not matter what actual troubles in the most extreme form get hold of a man's life, not one of them can separate him from his relationship to God. ............Either Jesus Christ is a deceiver and Paul is deluded, or some extraordinary thing happens to a man who holds on to the love of God when the odds are against God's character. Logic is silenced in the face of every one of these things. Only one thing can account for it-the love of God in Christ. "Out of the wreck I rise" every time.
