…you are not stuck in a box on an assembly line to nowhere.  Perhaps today you find yourself in a situation or circumstance either externally or internally that is very unpleasant to you – nearly unbearable…and it feels eternal!  Yes, we’ve all been there.  It’s ugly.  But I want to encourage you to believe God that it is merely a light and momentary affliction working something good in you (2 Cor. 4:17) and this temporary circumstance will not box you in and own you.  It is and it won’t if you will believe God and His Word.  Nothing is impossible with God.  He is always working, wooing, moving, growing stuff, speaking, brooding, shifting, poking, loving, drawing…  That’s why we’re never stuck.  Perhaps temporarily delayed, processed, massaged, cleansed, humbled….but if we move with Him, He’s always wanting to take us forward into new things!  He can change a heart, open a mind, bend a will, bring a surprise, write a check, close a door, open a door, heal, deliver, sell whatever, ad infinitum.  FIND HIM! BELIEVE HIM! LOVE HIS WORD!  And then come share your good news with me, ’cause I’m expecting God! P.S. Praise Him – out loud – through it all.
