He will also strengthen you to the end, 
so that 
you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
1 Corinthians 1:8 CSB
Some days we just need to hear this:
Our God will strengthen you til the end. 
There's times in our lives when we feel indestructible. That we can do anything, that we have the power to shape our world, make happen whatever we want to make happen.
And there's times when we don't.
We see our limitations, we see our need for God, accept our weakness & dependence on Him. 
We don't like to think about "the end", but Paul isn't concerned. His hope is firmly in Jesus and he invites us to find rest there too. 
And from that place go ahead and take who you are, your personality, your gifting and talents and heart into your world. Big, small, loud, quiet, impacting thousands, or one, all of it is OK, because we are held secure in Jesus.
Let Him be the basis of your flourishing.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
