But God: Those two words have the power to change the direction of any story. You may have received a bad report... but God. You may have been overlooked, rejected, or forgotten... but God. You may have made mistakes that seem impossible to overcome... but God. The enemy wants you to focus on the first part of your story. God wants you to remember that He always has the final word. Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and forgotten in prison. It looked like his dream was over. But God was positioning him for a palace. The Israelites stood trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea. There seemed to be no way forward. But God made a way where there was no way. Daniel was thrown into the lions' den. The king sealed the stone, believing it was the end. But God shut the mouths of the lions. The cross looked like defeat. Satan thought he had won. The stone was rolled in front of the tomb. But God raised Jesus from the dead, turning the greatest tragedy into the greatest victory. God specializes in interruptions. He interrupts fear with peace, weakness with strength, mourning with joy, impossibilities with miracles, and endings with new beginnings. The circumstances may not change overnight, but when God steps into the story, hope returns. Faith rises. Strength is renewed. What looked impossible becomes possible because God is not limited by what limits us. Your circumstances may speak loudly, but God's promises speak louder. Your story is not over, because God always has the final word.
