GOD WILL TURN IT AROUND

Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 32 
 
Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You. Jeremiah 32:17

God is a God of possibility. 

Hespecialisess in turning hopeless situations around. Trusting Himmeans acceptingt a new mentality of possibility into your life. To trust Him is to change your perspective from limitation to abundance. He makes a way where there is no way and opens streams in the desert.  
 
Consider these stories. They can each be your story. 
 
When Moses was eighty years old and well past his prime, God looked for him in the dry desert and called him to a lifetime task. At the time when Moses had settled into a life of disappointed dreams and unfulfilled hopes, God stepped into his life and ordered an about turn. That turn led to the greatest emancipation program of all time. It is possible to have a new start when you are old! 
 
Job had experienced the best of days and now he was in the worst of days. After working so hard to achieve success, he lost everything – wife, children, health and business investments. In a short time, he fell from being the most successful man of his day to the most sorrowful man. In that place of hopelessness and disappointment, God stepped into his life and gave him a new life with a new family, health and wealth. It is possible to regain what you have lost! 
 
Peter denied Christ and saw Him crucified. Can you imagine the guilt of Peter! He was so full of guilt and disappointment for his failure that he abandoned the mission that the Lord had given him. Yet, on resurrection morning, Jesus remembered him and later restored him. The man who failed Christ was asked to ‘feed my lambs’. 
 
Just remember this. It is possible to start late and finish well. It is possible to recover what the enemy took from you. It is possible to regain your mission in life!  

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, nothing is too hard for you. I trust you to let all things work out for my good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
