PINPOINT ACCURACY

Last week in an email to a friend I wrote, "God knew how much I could take, and how much I couldn't," in regard to an area of life where I feel stretched beyond the point of breaking. After that, I went merrily about my week, thinking I had clearly deciphered God's will--after all, if He had other intentions He surely would have made them clear by now.

A last minute decision to go to a different church yesterday for the first time changed that. At the start of the message, the pastor said, "God knows how much you can take and how much you can't--and how much you can even when you think you can't. God is for you, not against you."

You always know that God is in the room. Then there are the times when GOD IS IN THE ROOM. You know that you know that you know, He has you pegged. The word is for you. (Yes, it's for everybody, but man, it's for YOU.)

It never fails to awe me how God gives us exactly what we need to propel us toward His will. Today is another day of giving thanks. Another day to believe. Lord, help my unbelief.

Have you ever been stretched beyond what you think you can handle? How'd it turn out?
