What do you do when disaster strikes? In today's episode, we explore Thomas Edison's remarkable response to catastrophe when a spectacular fire destroyed over half his laboratory complex in 1914. Rather than mourning his losses, he gathered his employees the next morning and declared, "We're rebuilding." His perspective? "Thank goodness, our mistakes are burned up. Now we can start again fresh."
What would it look like if we could face our worst circumstances with unwavering faith? I share the incredible testimony of a woman diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer who, instead of surrendering to fear, surrounded herself with God's promises. Thirty years later, she remained cancer-free—a living testament to the power of standing on God's Word when faced with seemingly impossible situations.
Our God isn't a God of fear but of peace and strength. All He asks is that we trust Him rather than allowing fear to carry us away. Whether you're facing disappointment, loss, illness, or uncertainty today, this five-minute episode offers perspective that can transform how you view your challenges. Grab your coffee and join me for a moment of encouragement that will help you start your day by Starting Right.
