God is still in control

I am the Lord, the God of every person on the earth. Nothing is impossible for Me. — Jeremiah 32:27

The Cure for Disappointment Today's inspiration comes from: Grace for the Moment by Max Lucado I am the Lord, the God of every person on the earth. Nothing is impossible for Me. — Jeremiah 32:27   We need to hear that God is still in control.   We need to hear that it's not over until He says so.   We need to hear that life's mishaps and tragedies are not a reason to bail out. They are simply a reason to sit tight. Corrie ten Boom used to say, "When the train goes through a tunnel and the world gets dark, do you jump out? Of course not. You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through."   The way to deal with discouragement? The cure for disappointment? Go back and read the story of God. Read it again and again. Be reminded that you aren't the first person to weep. And you aren't the first person to be helped. Read the story and remember, the story is yours!   ~ He Still Moves Stones   * God is for you.  God is for you.  God Is For You   He will rejoice over you. — Zephaniah 3:17   God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that's God cheering your run. Look past the finish line; that's God applauding your steps. Listen for Him in the bleachers, shouting your name.   Too tired to continue? He'll carry you.   Too discouraged to fight? He's picking you up.   God is for you. Had He a calendar, your birthday would be circled. If he drove a car, your name would be on His bumper. If there's a tree in Heaven, He's carved your name in the bark.   "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?" God asks in Isaiah 49:15 (NIV).   What a bizarre question. Can you mothers imagine feeding your infant and then later asking, "What was that baby's name?" No. I've seen you care for your young. You stroke the hair, you touch the face, you sing the name over and over. Can a mother forget? No way. But "even if she could forget her children, I will not forget you," God pledges (Isaiah 49:15).
