Have you ever felt like you’re out of options in a certain situation in your life?
Like perhaps you’ve arrived at the end of the road and there’s no where left to go?
You’ve tried and worked and prayed and wondered and thought and hoped and kicked and fought and cried and begged and pleaded. Have you ever felt like you arrived at a DEAD END?
Perhaps you feel like you’re there right now.
You can’t seem to be able to move forward. The God given dream you had feels like it’s turned to dust and seems unreachable. Or the relationship feels unapproachable or hopelessly damaged.
I have experienced this type of difficulty in my life - more than once.
You can’t seem to do anything to change it or control it. Your dead end words may show up in your life experience as cancer, bankruptcy, divorce, unexpected death, unemployment, health struggles, infertility or some other bomb.
You may find yourself asking God,
“Why is this happening?”
“Am I outside of your will?”
“Did I hear you wrong?”
If you (or someone you love) finds yourself there today, let me encourage you. It’s simple, but sometimes we need to soak in the simple truth!!
You can’t… but God can!
Romans 4:17 says:
“Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.”
Catch that? Here are just 2 things among hundreds that God can do that you can’t:
1. He can bring the dead back to life
2. He can create something out of nothing.
If God can give life to a dead man, He can certainly give life to a dead career, dead marriage, dead dream, or a financial dead end.
In situations that are out of your control, keep having faith in our God who is in control. He specializes in the impossible- it’s part of his divine character.
Encouraging you today to hold onto your faith and hope as you face a dead end, a delay, or a disappointment. Dont be dismayed or distracted. Take the next right step. Do the natural and let Him do the supernatural.
“What is impossible with man is possible with God”
(Jesus’ words recorded in Luke 18:27)
Keep the faith, sister! Your dead end will become a new beginning in His hands and His timing…because He’s just that good!
Better together,
Paula
