In Jeremiah 3227, God says, I am the Lord, the God of every person on earth.

Nothing is impossible for me.

This is Max Lakato.

We need to hear that God is still in control.

We need to hear that it's not over until he says so.

We need to hear that life's mishaps and tragedies are not a reason to bail out.

Corey Tin Boom used to say,

When the train goes through a tunnel and the world gets dark,

do you jump out?

Of course not.

You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through.

The way to deal with discouragement, the cure for disappointment,

go back and read the story of God.

Read it again and again.

Be reminded that you aren't the first person to weep.

You aren't the first person to be helped.

Read the story and remember,

the story is yours.
