Growing up on a farm, I\u2019ve used a pitchfork many times. We had some forks that had tines missing, and they were of almost no value at all. You can imagine that a one pronged pitch fork is useless. A two-pronged one is just frustrating to use. If you want a fork that works, it needs to be at least three-pronged.<\/p>\n

In Matthew 11, God gives us a three-pronged tool to make it through faith-struggles, victoriously<\/strong>. And although it’s not a pitch-fork, you need all three tines — all three prongs — of the tool. \tIf you\u2019re missing one, your faith will be in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

The prongs?<\/strong> Know your Bible. Look for God\u2019s work in your life.\u00a0 Let God be in charge.<\/em><\/p>\n

This message gives more instuction on how this tool helps you through faith-struggles.<\/p>\n
