Yes, but...
How many times have you laid awake worrying and trying to squirm out of an assignment? Have you ever told the Lord, "Yes, I'll do it, but how are You going to provide the funds?" Or, "Yes, but these people will oppose me." Or, "Yes, but I've never done this before."
While each of us believes that God created the heavens and the earth, sometimes, when He calls us to some specific job, it's hard to believe that He'll take care of the obstacles!
How double-minded we can be! We know that God made the universe, named all the stars and does all good things, yet it's hard to think of Him as the God who goes before us to move mountains, break down walls and remove obstacles from our path. But believe me, He does!
If you are fretting tonight over "insurmountable" problems that are in your way, He is assuring you: "I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I...am the God of Israel" (Isaiah 45:2-3, NKJV).
What "gates of bronze" do you need broken down tonight? What bars of iron do you need cut? Whatever they are, remember, they are not impossible for Him. Eliminate your "Yes, but's" and sleep well. He is leading you forward in triumph!
God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me:
Heavenly Father, I praise You that nothing can stand in the way of Your will being accomplished! All power is in Your hands, and I know You are going before me. I will follow You in complete confidence and trust knowing nothing is too difficult for You! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
