Hang On!

You have no idea what God is capable of. But every step leads you to a piece of
it. Imagine a nail that you drive into a piece of wood. Such a little thing, but
it holds much weight. It's strength lies not only in itself, for an improperly
driven nail is capable of hanging nothing but may even fall off on its own. When
driven in well, straight, on-target, it holds hundred times more than its weight
in alignment with the strength of the wood that holds it in place.


God's promises and your faith are as close to each other as 2 wires in a switch. as the switch is pressed, power is released. promises are waiting for you. only Joshua and Caleb could operate it.

If the LORD delights in a man's ways, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand. - Ps 37:23-24

Blessed is [Janice] who listens to me, watching daily at my doows, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD. - Prov 8:34-35

God @ Work. Keep watching out 'cause He'll continue to blow preconceptions, perceptions and perspectives away!

Just like a twister, your situation looks terrifying on the ground but to God, the biggest twist is at the top where He is spreading your problems in order.

As in Isa 11:2-4, the Spirit of the LORD will rest on [you] - the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD - and [you] will delight in the fear of the LORD. [You] will not judge by what [you] see[s] with [your] eyes, or decide by what [you] hear[s] with [your] ears...

"Decide in advance that you're never going to quit, that you'll abound in the Lord's work no matter how high the pain, you'll keep showing up, trusting, serving, proclaiming the gospel, discipling, shepherding, leading and casting the vision. THAT'S COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP! Stay on course." - Bill Hybels (cf 1 Cor 15:58)
