On Saturday, May 3, I had the bittersweet pleasure of hearing Mrs. Sherri Burgess (wife of Rick Burgess of Rick and Bubba Show) speak to a large group of ladies at First Baptist Church Center Star in northern Alabama. I have never witnessed the power of God come on someone as it did Sherri. This was her first public message since the loss of their precious son, William Bronner Burgess.
I think many people wondered if she would share a lot about Bronner but she did Bronner the honor of sharing about his heavenly Father instead. You could certainly tell her heart was broken as she shared a little about that day but as she continued, she mostly focused on the Lord Jesus and how He was able to help them survive this tragedy. What an awesome, bittersweet time it was to witness just how the Lord was using this couple. Many in that audience were in tears and left to wonder if we could survive a crisis and have the faith that they have so strongly exhibited.
Her theme was from Matthew 7:25 - "The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." That rock, of course, is Jesus.
May your foundation be on that Rock also.
