Are you a person who likes predictability and control? How well do you handle uncertainty and unpredictability? As we explore Noah and the ark in Genesis 6 and 7 we learn that there are seasons where God will require for us to sit in uncertainty and trust Him. There will be things beyond our control and what we do during those times will determine whether we lose or gain something. After you listen to this message you are going to understand why you are where you are, that where you are is for God’s purpose and that you have been the one chosen by God. 5 Takeaways from this week message: You could be the one: God has chosen you to be the one He uses to save others Purpose precedes the person. The problem you were born to solve was already assigned. You are not a mistake It takes great faith to start something but even greater faith to stay in it! God has placed you where you are at this moment for a purpose, and although it's uncertain it's safe. Question of the day: Are you willing to sit in uncertainty? Challenge for the week: Explore the areas in your life that seem uncertain. Write them down. And next to it write and speak your affirmation “I will stay the course”. Write down HOW you will stay the course. Affirmation: I will stay the course. Join us every Thursday morning 7:30a Est on the Purpose Prayer Line for Womenpreneurs!
