God Has The Final Say

We all face situations that look final but God has the final sa even if you have struggled for years. God won't let you get in a problem that he can't get you out of. 

Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is  the  case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.
Daniel 3:16‭-‬17 NKJV

At the right time God will either cause someone you think is influentual to like you or move them out of the way. 

1 Samuel 16 : God looks into the heart.

Now the Lord said to Samuel, "You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king." So Samuel did as the Lord instructed. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town came trembling to meet him. "What's wrong?" they asked. "Do you come in peace?" "Yes," Samuel replied. "I have come to sacrifice to the Lord . Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." Then Samuel performed the purification rite for Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice, too..."Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Then Samuel asked, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse replied. "But he's out in the fields watching the sheep and goats." "Send for him at once," Samuel said. "We will not sit down to eat until he arrives." So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And the Lord said, "This is the one; anoint him."
1 Samuel 16:1‭, ‬4‭-‬7‭, ‬11‭-‬12 NLT


If people determined our destiny being left out would matter but God determines our destiny.

Don't put your problems or curcumstances  on the thrown because that's where God is.


He went and proclaimed God's salvation to earlier generations who ended up in the prison of judgment because they wouldn't listen. You know, even though God waited patiently all the days that Noah built his ship, only a few were saved then, eight to be exact—saved from the water by the water. The waters of baptism do that for you, not by washing away dirt from your skin but by presenting you through Jesus' resurrection before God with a clear conscience. Jesus has the last word on everything and everyone, from angels to armies. He's standing right alongside God, and what he says goes.
1 Peter 3:19‭-‬22 MSG

Faith doesn't deny the circumstances it just doesn't consider them and instead focuses on God .

And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah's womb.
Romans 4:19 NLT

Get in agreement with God.

Don't let the experts talk you out of the seeds of greatness that God put in you. 

Lazarus
Sometimes a dream seems dead but you have to keep a good attitude.

Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask." "Roll the stone aside," Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, protested, "Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible." Then Jesus shouted, "Lazarus, come out!"  And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, "Unwrap him and let him go!"
John 11:21‭-‬22‭, ‬39‭, ‬43‭-‬44 NLT

Sometimes God will wait on purpose so that everyone knows that it was God.


No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
Exodus 23:26 NKJV

LSU, Texas A&M play seven-overtime game for the ages as Aggies hold on for 74-72 victory  
Don't turn the game off too soon.

Don is a huge Aggies fan. He'd watch and record all of the games. In the November 2018 game, LSU kicked a field goal and the team proceeded to celebrate a win. Don turned off the game and deleted the recording. A few hours later a friend text asking him if he saw the great game. Come to find out the refs rulled against the play and the Aggies went on to win.
