Her sons were about to be taken to become slaves to pay off some past debts. Her husband, Elisha, was a faithful follower in church, so she went to him to ask why she was now in trouble. Why, when you have given all you have and served others your whole life, do you end up so broken and depleted? She wanted to know what exactly is the reward for faithfulness. Elisha listened to her complain of what she lost then asked, “So what do...]]></description><link>https://www.mcknightenterprises.org/post/you-are-not-alone</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5f7604bb7474b90018c0ea48</guid><category><![CDATA[Faith]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:07:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5861bc_b6071246be49424a819f6a2828a68d28~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_640,h_426,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dr. Dorie McKnight</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Recovery, Restoration, and Retrieval]]></title><description><![CDATA[For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
