"It's Just Too Much"

The enormity of the task before us is imposing, and leaves us sometimes breathless. 

Before us sit the leaders of our area. Mayors, Representatives, Senators, Presidents, Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Researchers, Pharmacists, Leaders of Industry, Media, Entertainers, Teachers, and Professors. We must challenge them to be the best they can be for the role they occupy. We must inspire them to move in positive and godly ways in their activities, We must open God’s Will in their hearing to help them make the most moral, godly, and upright decisions in their arena. Then there are the future leaders we will aid in molding and inspiring, who will change the world through research, philanthropic contributions, influence, and the use of their talents. Add to that those who have spent their life and now face the end of their time here. They will need the encouragement to finish strong and faithful, the assurance of where they have placed their faith, peace on this leg of their journey, thanks for the missions they have completed, and hope that God’s Family will continue strong. And that’s just IN the audience. Our tasks also involves those who have “weak knees” - whose faith is but a smoldering flax, and others who have fallen and need to be rebuked, and yet others who have been hurt and aren’t sure how to return. But we’re not done for our mission is to ALL the world. There are roughly 7.5 billion out there who each will be lost without the Gospel, for whom we may be their only hope. Feeling overwhelmed yet? 

You shouldn’t.

“I am with you always…” (Matthew 28:20).

“I will never leave you or forsake you…” (Hebrews 13:5).

“For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off” (Psalm 37:28).”

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).

Yes, the enormity of the task is big, but He who gave it is bigger and promises to be with you in it! Take heart.
