Unknown Future – Known God

This month is International Women’s Month – Heather and I wanted to honor women this week from all over the world that honor our God! We hope our posts will inspire you to be bold for God. These women are from the past but are so relevant to our today faith journey!!

Today we highlight Corrie ten Boom. The quote below touches our hearts knowing what she faced by the Nazi’s in a concentration camp. She trusted our God and helped the Jews. She took action and did God’s will and yes she still encountered suffering in her obedience. But oh how we can learn from her obedience and story!

Go read her book “The Hiding Place” and be ready to live in a true story of hope, love, trust, suffering…but most importantly loyalty to our God! Her story will inspire you to get to know God better.

Thank you Corrie for all that you did for Jews and for teaching us to always have faith to follow God’s will, even if we have no idea what the outcome will be!

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”

Corrie ten Boom

Some facts about our Christian friend:

Cornelia Arnolda Johanna “Corrie” ten Boom (15 April 1892 – 15 April 1983) was a Dutch Christian watchmaker and later a writer who worked with her father, Casper ten Boom, her sister Betsie ten Boom and other family members to help many Jews escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home.

She believed her actions were following the will of God. They were caught, and she was arrested and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp.

Her most famous book, The Hiding Place, is a biography that recounts the story of her family’s efforts and how she found and shared hope in God while she was imprisoned at the concentration camp.
