Luke 14:28-30 ESV -- 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’

Hebrews 3:4 ESV - "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God." We can trust God's blueprint for our lives!

“So Moses told the people of Israel everything just as the LORD told Moses…” This morning we will all take our places and share with our people. What will we say? Do not stand and speak without words from God! Do not stand and speak and not share everything from God, even the hard parts! Do not try to fix or change the words the Lord has given. Just be prepared and then proclaim! You’ve been lifted up before the Father!

There may be many reasons we will do what we do, but the main goal is always that we are called to lift up the name of Jesus! To use our opportunity to herald truth that will it be used by God to accomplish His plan!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

No matter where you find yourself in your circumstances on this day, remember to keep your focus on the Lord and his protection and blessings.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." – Matthew 6:33 ESV As my focus is more on God and His priorities, I realize that my daily necessities have become part of His care and provision. This is His promise!

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Psalms 46:1 God's word for you today is to quit looking back, and look ahead. Stop worrying about the season that was, and prepare for the season to come. Nobody likes change, but change is part of this life. Now is the time to trust the Lord, and let Him guide you into this new season of your life. He loves you and cares about you. He knows your every need. He desires to bless you more than you ever imagined

9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:9-11 ESV
