先知以賽亞之書 48:10

Failure is more common in life than success. Success is often the result of many failures. God uses trials and pain to purify us, and also to restore us and take us to a higher place.

The past 22 years of my career have culminated in my new album, 'Deeper Waters.' Throughout my life, God has richly grown the roots of my faith — namely through suffering.

Journey with me as we dive into deeper waters.

In this 6-day devotional, James Hamilton guides readers through Scripture and enables them to pause and treasure God’s glory.
