Yes, He Can

We live in a very unpredictable world. A world that is full of fear, and despair. But one thing that is certain is God is still in control of this world and not a thing can happen without Him knowing.

In my own personal life I have many struggles that I have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, and each day I have to learn to leave all of them at the Throne. They are out of my control, and I have a choice to either worry myself sick about them, or I can say, "God I can't do this, but I know You can." God is a big and mighty God, and the things we struggle with are a "piece of cake" for Him to handle.

After my DTS, but before I joined on full-time staff with YWAM, I felt God calling me to do some pretty radical ministries, and to start some some ministries in San Diego. I felt that what He was calling me to do sounded pretty extreme for a few reasons. One of them because I feel very unqualified for the job, and the other it sounds like something that I am unable to do. How many of you had ever had those thoughts? If you are honest with yourself, I'm sure that you can say you have had similar thoughts, if not the exact same ones.

But I am here to tell you that God is the God of the impossible. He has shown that to me in countless ways. One of the biggest ways He has, is by leading me to where I sit today as a missionary for Him. It was quite a struggle to get to this point, but I knew that I had to persevere and keep charging through the struggles that came on my path, and with His strength I have done that, and with His strength I will continue to do that. When I say I am unqualified, or unable I am sounding exactly like Moses. Look what God did through him... look what He did through David, Daniel, & Paul and several others. Did any of them have the easy way? Of course not. Did they find themselves in situations that seemed impossible? They sure did.

So when I think about the stories in the Bible, and the stories from others today, I have one thing to say, "Yes He can." God can do anything. God led called me to city ministry, starting in San Diego, and I know that God will lead me through it. It won't be easy, there will be challenges, but God will lead me through them. I am very excited about this new ministry. God's dreams for me are being fulfilled. Though I may not know what the next step will bring, I do know Who will be there. I know that He knows what lies ahead, and I have to trust Him as my navigational Guide. He knows the way better than anybody.

God will lead you through your challenges too. As long as we step out in faith and be obedient to Him, He will lead the way and provide for our needs. There is nothing impossible with God, and we can do all things through His strength.
