He.
Isaiah 43:16-21
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
16 I am the one who cut a path
through the mighty ocean.
17 I sent an army to chase you
with chariots and horses;
now they lie dead,
unable to move.
They are like an oil lamp
with the flame snuffed out.
Forget the Past
The Lord said:
18 Forget what happened long ago!
Don’t think about the past.
19 I am creating something new.
There it is! Do you see it?
I have put roads in deserts,
streams in thirsty lands.
20 Every wild animal honors me,
even jackals and owls.
I provide water in deserts—
streams in thirsty lands
for my chosen people.
21 I made them my own nation,
so they would praise me.
Faith.
Romans 4:17
The Message (MSG)
17-18We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody. Isn’t that what we’ve always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, “I set you up as father of many peoples”? Abraham was first named “father” and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing. When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, “You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!”
Stop judging or comparing yourself with others
Stop thinking that they are on a different level from you
Or that they seem to be achieving much more than you
Instead joy in the fact that with God what it has taken others hours to achieve you could do in minutes
what it takes others years to achieve it could take you months or less with the creator on your team
So don’t be worried or anxious for anything, He is never late
God loves to prove Himself in you if you let Him, He is a powerful God and He has no problem showing it
He doesn’t like to take the ‘normal’ route, no He loves to show off, He loves to make something out of nothing because only then will the world see it as a miracle. If He follows the traditional way, no one would say that it was God who did it but they would say “it was fate”, “you were lucky”.
He loves to be depended upon
He loves to brag about you. Yes. He bragged about Job to Satan in the Bible (Job 1:6-8) He said “have you seen my friend Job, there is no one quite like him, honest and true to His words, devoted to God and hating evil”
Hahahaha! Such joy! I know God is bragging about me right now. I am His pride
So why would I worry, why would I compare myself with another, I’ve got the advantage, the bigger boss is my friend, better still the bigger boss is my Father!
Wow! I think I should stop here before I start a sermon.
Think on these things…

Life could be easy or hard for you, only you can decide which one you want
Matthew 6:33
The Message (MSG)
30-33“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep (saturate, soak) your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
When life gets difficult…

Deeep!
Hebrews 6:4-8
The Message (MSG)
4-8Once people have seen the light, gotten a taste of heaven and been part of the work of the Holy Spirit, once they’ve personally experienced the sheer goodness of God’s Word and the powers breaking in on us—if then they turn their backs on it, washing their hands of the whole thing, well, they can’t start over as if nothing happened. That’s impossible. Why, they’ve re-crucified Jesus! They’ve repudiated him in public! Parched ground that soaks up the rain and then produces an abundance of carrots and corn for its gardener gets God’s “Well done!” But if it produces weeds and thistles, it’s more likely to get cussed out. Fields like that are burned, not harvested.
