Words of Wisdom – Corrie ten Boom

If you’ve been our chum for any amount of time you probably know our regard for Corrie ten Boom and her wonderful autobiographical book The Hiding Place.

In case you are unfamiliar with Corrie ten Boom, she and her family hid Jews in their home in Holland during the Holocaust and ultimately were themselves arrested and put in concentration camps. Of those in her family who were put in the camps, only Corrie survived. She was a woman who was no stranger to hardship and pain, while still clinging to her faith and the hope of victory and overcoming through Christ. So when Corrie speaks of praying and the power of prayer, you can be sure, she knew a thing or two about that which she spoke.

Let those words sink deep into your soul. If you haven’t prayed about those things that are troubling you or the people who are important to you, today would be good day to start. As Corrie said, “Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love.” Words of wisdom indeed!
