Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told to you from the beginning? It is God who sits enthroned above the earth. (Isa 40:21-22).
Take a look at the world around you – who created this universe? Look at the oceans – God can measure the ocean in his hands. Look at the mountains – God can weigh them in his scales. Look at the sky – between his thumb and little finger God can measure the heavens. Look at the stars – as each star comes out tonight, God is calling each one of them by name. He is so powerful and so mighty, that not one of them will be missing, tonight or any night.
No Win Situations
This no-win situation that you find yourself in at the moment has got to be frustrating. I am sure as you go over and over the options and alternatives in your mind, there just doesn’t seem to be any good ways to move forward. And yet you have to move forward, and make a recommendation on which way to go. The scary part is that you don’t know how the recommendation will be received.
Waiting
Don’t be discouraged, even though it seems like you have been praying forever for the situation that you find yourself in, for the salvation of one of your family members, or the challenges one of your friends are facing.
Bright Shiny Objects
Why are you continually looking at bright shiny objects that are just outside your grasp.?
Before you touch, take and taste that bright shiny object, put your hand down and take one moment to pause and consider all the things you have and the relationships that you have. They may be bountiful, or they may just be a few. Think about who it is that has blessed you. Do not forget whose you are, you are a child of God, you are the son or daughter of the King of Heaven, you have a Heavenly Father, who sent His Son, Jesus, to die for you. Remember that He has sent the Holy Spirit to be with you, and right now, this very moment, you are not alone. He has promised never to leave you or forsake you. Why are you even considering giving all of this up? Why have you taken your eyes of the Cross? What is it that this bright shiny object is offering to you today that is better then what Christ has done for you?

Obedience
Be not afraid, for Jesus is with you! Take this exciting opportunity that God has placed in your hands, to be a part of his redemptive work. Out of love for God and love for the men and women created in God’s image that God is sending you to, go where God has called you to go, say what God has laid on you heart to say and leave the results safely in His hands.
