If you add up the negative things in your past and put them on a scale, at times it would be way out of balance. The negative is much heavier. You're dealing with an illness, you went through a loss, you had to sit back in your finances. It's easy to look at what we've been through and get discouraged, lose our passion. The problem is, you're only weighing your history. You're only looking at the negative things that have happened. What you can't see is what God has in your future. He wouldn't have allowed the difficulty if it was going to leave you in a deficit.

2:06If you're going to get the proper assessment, you have to put not just your history on the scales, you have to put your destiny. There are things in your future, God has already ordained for you. Promotion, healing, divine connections. They're not just going to tip the scale, but they're going to far outweigh the disappointment, the pain, the loss. And this is where faith has to kick in. I'm at a deficit right now. Gone through this struggle. I had a setback. I'm not denying that. But I know this, God is still on the throne. What He has in my future is going to far surpass what I'm dealing with now. This scripture says, Jesus endured the pain of the cross looking forward to the joy that was coming. When He was being mocked by the soldiers, beaten with whips, nailed on the cross, He was at a deficit. It looked like the enemy got the best of Him. People thought, if He is who He really said He is, He'd come down off that cross. He wouldn't be up there defeated.

3:10All the circumstances said He was done. Get a great deal during the Jeep driving to fall sales event. Jeep is one more awards over its lifetime than any of the other SUV brand.

4:34But God has the final say. He won't let you get in a problem that He can't bring you out of. The odds may be against you but the most high God is for you. On the cross, Jesus said, my God, why have you forsaken me? There will be times where it feels like God is forgotten about you. Why did this bad break happen? Why did this person leave? Why did the pandemic hit? Slow my business down. If you judge your life by where you are right now, you'll get discouraged, give up on dreams. It's because you're only putting your history on the scale. Your way out of balance, what you're missing is what's coming. You have to endure some things looking forward to the joy that's on the way. You have to know that God is still on the throne, that He's ordering your steps, that what He started, He's going to finish.

5:37No bad break can stop Him. No person, no pandemic, no loss, no sickness. He sees what's not fair. He sees what didn't work out, the lonely nights, the times you feel forgotten. The Psalmist said, weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning. Jesus died on the cross, the forces of darkness celebrated, thought they had finally won. But on the third day, God said, I don't think so. My son is not going to end in a deficit. He arose and is alive with all power. The point is, He had to go through some things to fulfill His purpose. I'd rather God make it easy, just float through life with all good breaks, but that's not how it works. You can't become all you were created to be without opposition. Things you don't understand, people that turn on you, times it looks like you are done. The way to endure is to keep reminding yourself.

That what God has in your future is not just going to make up for what you've been through, not just bring you back to even, but God is going to bring you out better, increased, promoted, healthier to new levels of your destiny. He's designed your life to where the good things in your future will outweigh the negative things in your past. The scripture puts it this way, God has taken you from glory to glory. The path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. He already has a solution to the problem that's holding you back. He's already arranged restoration for that loss, a new beginning for that setback, promotion for that injustice.

8:51It's already on the schedule. It's just a matter of time before you see the scales tip in your favor. Now when those lies come saying, God has forgotten about you, it's never going to work out. You've seen your best days. Just say no thanks. I know a secret. This may be difficult. It's not fair, but this is not how my story ends. The right people are tracking me down. There's a lady in the scripture named Naomi. She was married with two sons. They left her hometown of Bethlehem because of a famine and moved to the city of Moab. They found food and a nice place to live. When she was good, then Naomi's husband unexpectedly died. She became a widow. If that wasn't hard enough, a few years later both of her sons died. She was so heartbroken she decided to move back home. She told her two daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, that she was leaving. They should move on, find someone else to marry. Orpah kissed Naomi goodbye when her way.

9:59Ruth said, now I'm going wherever you go. I'm going to stay with you and help take care of you. We all face these unexpected challenges. These we didn't see coming.

Naomi means my joy. Mara means bitter. She was saying, there's nothing joyful about my life. Do you know what I've been through? She said in verse 21, I left Bethlehem full, but I came home empty. There are times that life deals as such a blow that we feel empty. We have nothing left to give. We started out good. We were passionate for suing dreams, but we lost a loved one. The business didn't make it. An unexpected illness. Now we feel empty. The beauty of our God is he's not going to leave you empty. He knows when life has been unfair. He knows when you don't feel like you can go on. He comes to the empty places. He has strength for the weary, fresh vision, fresh anointing.

12:30Even now God is breathing on your life. You're about to come out of that empty place. Things are shifting in your favor. New doors are about to open. The right people are about to show up. You're going to see a sign of God's goodness letting you know that he's about to tip the scales. They may be out of balance now, but he's not finished. He has something coming that's going to far outweigh the loss, the heartache, the disappointment.

One day the owner of that field, a man named Boaz, told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on the ground on purpose for Ruth. Now she came back in a fraction of the time with more wheat than ever. I can hear Naomi saying Ruth, what happened? Where did you get all this wheat? How did you come back home so fast? We said, I don't know. It was just laying there waiting on the ground. Naomi had been through great heartache. She was at an empty place, but noticed how God began to work, favoring her, causing people that she had never met to be good to her.

14:44Boaz ended up falling in love with Ruth. They got married. They had a baby that they named Obed. Naomi was so excited. When she saw that little boy, she felt this new sense of purpose. The scripture says, the women of the town rejoiced and said to Naomi, God has given you another son. May this child restore your youth. Naomi took care of him like he was her own son. A few years earlier, she was empty. She was bitter. She thought she'd seen her best days. She never dreamed she'd be this happy, this fulfilled. God knows how to tip the scales, how to make what was meant for harm and turn it to your advantage. You may be at an empty place. You don't see how you could ever be happy again. If Naomi were here, she would tell you, that's not how your story ends. God has things in your future better than you've imagined. You may not understand it right now. It's not fair. Trust him. It's all a part of his plan.

15:47He's going to bring you to a blessed place where you're more fulfilled, more rewarded than you've ever been. What's significant is this wasn't just any baby.

Out of David's family line came Jesus. Naomi's disappointments. Having to move back home that was all a part of God's plan. She was instrumental in our Savior being born. At the time she couldn't see it. She felt empty. She got bitter but God was still in control. He was still ordering her steps, causing Boaz to see Ruth. Having Naomi helped raise that little boy. Naomi never dreamed thousands of years later we would be talking about her. When you go through disappointments, loss, if you could only see how God is going to make it up to you.

17:57If you only knew the doors he's going to open. The people he's going to bring. Then in those times that you could stay bitter instead you'd stay in fame. You could give up on your dreams but you'll keep believing. You could live defeated but you'll live passionate expecting God's favor. One reason Naomi got bitter is she kept telling herself the wrong thing. She said, I'm empty. I have nothing to give. I've seen my best days. She was focused on what she lost. What didn't work out? How it wasn't fair? Her own thoughts were defeating her. What you're telling yourself in difficult times will make you or break you. You may feel empty but don't go around and now see it. Telling everyone you're broke, defeated, addicted, lonely. That's not helping you. Those words are going out of your mouth and right back into your own spirit. Every time you say it is becoming more of a reality. That's why the scripture says, let the weak say I'm strong. Let the poor say I'm well off. Let the addicted say I'm free. Let those who have gone through bad.

When you have the right perspective you can stay in faith even when life is not fair. You can move forward even when you should be stuck. Often it's not the storms that defeat us. It's how we respond to the storms. There's collateral damage we can avoid if we don't add to the storm by getting bitter, giving up on our dreams.

21:14And with difficulties come you have to be careful what you're telling yourself. It's easy to get in agreement with the lies. It's all down here from here. You'll never be happy. Look at what you've been through. Naomi kept repeating her pain. I went out full but man now I'm empty. Lost my sons, lost my husband. What she was saying was true but this is where faith has to kick in. Yes I've been through loss but I know God still has a purpose for me. That there are still good things in my future. Pay attention to what you're telling yourself. One thing Naomi did right is she kept moving forward. When she lost her sons she said I'm going to move back home. She was saying in effect I'm not staying in this sorrow. I'm letting go the old and moving on to the new. Don't get stuck in what didn't work out. You may not understand it but God wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to stop your purpose. Don't put a question mark where God put a period.

With verbal care help is always ready before, during and after your stay. We've planned for the plot twists so support is always available because a great trip starts with peace of mind. Opposed the friend walked away except it as God's will and moved forward. This scripture says Naomi returned to Bethlehem at the start of the barley harvest.

23:18If she had stayed in Moab in self-pity she would have missed the harvest season. Wasn't a coincidence that she was moving back home in a time of abundance. Don't miss your harvest because you're stuck on who hurt you. What you didn't get my skills way out of balance Joe I don't understand it move forward there's a harvest waiting for you.

That's where God is not just going to make it up to you. Not just tip the scales but you're going to see him show out in your life.

24:23Do something that you've never seen.
