“If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.”
Psalm 139: 9-10

Where is your “even there“?

That place that you don’t think God can reach.

That place you think God can’t change.

That place that you don’t believe God can help.

No matter how difficult or dark your situation, Jesus can guide you out and give you the strength to do it.

Jesus will guide you out- follow Him one step at a time, one day at a time.

There is no place that God can’t reach, heal and restore…even there.

The Quiet Yes

Don’t underestimate the power of a quiet yes.

“So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time”.
‭‭James‬ ‭4:7 ‭MSG

‬‬A quiet yes spoken with conviction.

A quiet yes whispered in surrender.

A quiet yes of obedience to make a 180 degree turn around in your life.

A quiet yes when He asks you to not settle for good when Jesus wants great things for you.

A quiet yes, because Jesus hears you even if you whisper.

A loud NO, because the enemy doesn’t.

The temptation to listen to lies of the enemy is strong because he is talking to you all the time and telling you the lies you already believe.

Today is your day to shout:

“No, I won’t settle for less”.

“No, I won’t quit”.

“No, I will not shrink back, I will push forward”.

Don’t settle for less than what God has for you.

What is your quiet yes for today?

God has not equipped you to do everything but He God has equipped you with everything you need to do His will today.

Wherever you are, with what you are dealing right now.

God has equipped you.

You have what you need to do what you need to do this day.

Don’t worry about tomorrow.

Forget about yesterday.

Be fully present today.

“Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:20-21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Sometimes the best you can do is take it one day at a time.

My friend, take this day and know that Jesus will be with you. He will even give what you need to glorify God in it. He will work through the heartaches and disappointments as well as through the unexpected joys and moments of relief.

I am praying for you today and thankful for the God of peace who will equip you with everything good for doing His will in it.

What has God equipped you to do today?

“even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What is your even there?

That place that you don’t think God can reach.
That place you think God can’t change.

That place that you don’t believe God can help.

No matter how difficult or dark your situation, Jesus can guide you out and give you strength to do it. 

Jesus will guide you out- follow him one step at a time, one day at a time.

Jesus will strengthen you, one step at a time, one day at a time. 

There is no place that God can’t reach, heal and restore, even there.

When

When you don’t know the way forward into an unknown future that you didn’t anticipate.

When you are not sure what you are going to do or how you are going to get through.

When you feel lost, for whatever reason and unsure of how to change or if you can change at all, when what you need is change most of all.

When what you need is help and hope there is a hand stretched out to you.

A scarred hand, reached out to walk with you through one day at a time.

“But I’ll take the hand of those who don’t know the way, who can’t see where they’re going.

I’ll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country.

I’ll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don’t fall into the ditch.

These are the things I’ll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute.” (‭Isaiah‬ ‭42‬:‭10-16‬ MSG)

Take the hand.
Take one more step.

When you don’t know what to do hold onto hope because Jesus, Your Savior, is holding onto you.

Do the Work

David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work.

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you.

He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished. (1 Chronicles 28:20 NIV)

In the story above, King David is passing on his plans to build the temple of God to his son, Solomon.

Solomon has been given something to do and his father’s words to him are “be strong and courageous and do the work.”

They are the same words God is giving you today. He has placed within your grasp a task, a direction and a responsibility. It is not an easy task and there will be many times you will be tempted to quit.

Don’t quit.

Do the work.

Courageously, not half heatedly.

Be obedient to what God has given you to do.

When it gets hard (and it will), do not let discouragement suck the hope out of you. You are not alone in this, God is WITH you.

Take it one day at a time.

Do the work.

Lean on God for every step, he will not forsake you.

At the end of it all, you will stand back and be amazed at what you built with God and what he used you to do.

Do the work and leave the worry to
God.
