About this episode
Trevor Komatsu shares a personal message on responding with faith during suffering, based on Isaiah 40:31.
How do you honor Jesus in the valley of the shadow of death? In this powerful and personal message from Isaiah 40:31, Trevor Komatsu shares about losing his son and reveals three ways to respond with faith when suffering: get your eyes on God by fixing them on his character and promises rather than your circumstances, recognizing he is eternal, all-knowing, and almighty; grab hold of God's power by admitting your weakness, asking Jesus for strength, and expecting him to answer—he gives power to the faint and increases strength to those with no might; and go and do the next thing, whether that's getting out of bed, serving your family, or small acts of obedience, trusting that Jesus will strengthen you even in the valley.
