As Christians, we are not promised lives of ease. Often it takes just a small moment of beauty to regain hope and continue on when life is chaotic and unpredictable. Only when we learn to spot the lovely in the midst of hardship can we experience the transcendent peace of God that keeps us persevering when we want to give up. In this 7-session Bible study, Annie F. Downs examines the ordinary people of the Bible--fishermen, gardeners, women, soldiers--to reveal the moments they found beauty in everyday circumstances and hope in God's timing. Because they trusted in this: He makes everything beautiful in His time.
