STAY CALM

STAY CALM

I was reading a bedtime story to my kids tonight and decided to stop at a point and told them we'd continue tomorrow.

Dreading the suspense, "Continue Daddy", they protested.

"No! You will know how the story ends tomorrow", I responded with a cheeky grin.

------

See, there are times in life you wish to know what tomorrow holds.


Anxious,

Eager,

Expectant,

Sometimes bewildered.

How will the interview go?

Will I get the job?

Will I get the contract?

Will they approve my visa?

Will my salary be paid or will it last me for the month?

Will I ever get out of debt?

Will I get the promotion?

Will my future husband/wife ever show up?

Am I going to be rich or will just be comfortable?


Questions over questions...


The good news is... like for my kids, you can be rest assured, Daddy has got the rest of the story in the palm of His hands.


In fact, He wrote the story so He knows what tomorrow holds.


And because He is your Daddy, you can be sure, "all things work together for your good..."

Stay calm.

Don't be anxious.

Worry less.

Be Still.

And know... that He is God!

He's in control,

Even in the storm.

Be encouraged.


Amen, somebody?


I believe in you!

Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
