Occasionally the providential care of God delicately requests my attention, and in doing so it rolls up the darkness of doubt that has a way of sneaking into my perspective. One such instance happened to me just lately. This past Friday afternoon, I was working at my desk stressing over the minutiae of ministry when I received a call.
