Life is so short. This reality has struck me over and over again this week. As eluded to earlier, I've been overwhelmed with the needs surrounding me. Each time I think, "I could make a difference there....only if I had the time." When I read the book "Tuck Everlasting" I found myself ashamed of the fact that I did desire to expand my life time. It is not because I do not desire eternity with every fiber of my body, but because I desperately want to be used of God, yet I am so limited in what I can do.

God rejoices in my limitation. Throughout this week he has shown me how weak and frail I am. He has shown me how little I can accomplish. It has been humbling. Then he reminds of what an amazing God he is. He shows me verses which demonstrate how he has the power to shake nations and dictate leaders. He is so powerful that the innate rocks around us will cry out in praise if we refuse to.

In His word, God continuously offers the chance for people to join his army. In Ester and so many other places he informs us that if we refuse, another will rise and take our place. Thank you Lord that it is not up to us to shake the nations...you already hold them in the palm of your hand. You have merely offered to let us join in.

Praise God.
