0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. With all

0:53 that is happening in the world right now, so many people are worried,

0:56 anxious. What's going to happen to the life, What is going to happen

0:59 to the What if something untoward happens in their life? What if something goes

1:03 beyond their control. They're on that constant beat of worry, anxiety, fear,

1:10 frustration, and just trying to keep things together. I want to remind

1:14 you of this important truth. You're not running your life. God is running

1:18 your life. You're not holding your life together. God is holding your life

1:22 together. He's the one who spoke the worlds into existence, and he's the

1:26 one who is the alpha and the mega. He's the one who knows your

1:30 story. He created you with the plan and the purpose, and he has

1:34 put everything in the right place. And he's the one who's saying to you

1:38 today, you know what, even though you don't know what your life is

1:42 holding, I'm holding your life. I have the plan for your life,

1:47 which is the best plan that you can ever imagine. You can't even comprehend

1:51 with your own ability, because MY ways are higher than your ways. And

1:55 the Lord is reminding you and just saying this to you. Listen, I

1:57 have the blueprint for your life. You may feel like nothing seems to be

2:01 making sense. You may feel like it's all seeming like it's I'm going to

2:06 be washed away any moment by all the turbulence that's happening all around me.

2:10 You may feel like the wind is just, you know, trying to carry

2:14 you away from where you are. And you may feel like you know the

2:17 pressure is mounting on every direction, bombarding you on every direction. But I

2:23 want to tell you something very important to you, guys, a very familiar

2:25 scripture, and I want to remind you Isaiah fourteen nine, verse sixteen.

2:30 I know by the time I say this, you might know this. It

2:31 says, you know. God is saying, I have engraved you in the

2:36 palm of my hands. I have inscribed you in the palm of my hands.

2:39 Some translation says I have tattooed you in the palm of my hands.

2:45 I have a picture of you on the palm of my hands. Different translations.

2:47 You know when you look at it, it's so awesome to remember that.

2:52 You know what you're not. Just listen. If I have something in

2:55 my finger, Okay, for example, if I have a key chain or

3:00 anything a pen in my finger, I can easily drop it. I can

3:05 misplace it, somebody can snatch it from me. I can lose it very

3:08 easily. But if the same key chain is in my palm, you can

3:14 imagine how safe and secured it is. Right, no matter what comes,

3:19 it is safe and secured. I want you to remember this picture. You're

3:22 not just in the finger of God. You're not just a you know,

3:27 in the tie of God, or in the head of God, or you

3:30 know something like that. You're in the palm of God. You can imagine

3:35 how safe you are. You can Imagine how secured you are. God is

3:39 in control. Yes, this may be a message that you might have heard

3:43 a million times, but sometimes you know, it's important to rememind yourself of

3:47 this. You may be going through a season where you're upset, defeated,

3:52 worried, but I want to remind you of this important truth. You are

3:57 safe and secured in the Lord. You know, when the Bible says you're

4:02 engraved, when the Bible says that you ears tattooed you, it's not temporary

4:06 tattoos. It's a permanent tattoo. You guys know, permanent tattoos are something

4:12 that you know, once you put it, it's always going to stay there.

4:15 It's not going to go anywhere. So imagine you know you are going

4:18 to stay in the palm of God's sense. You're going to be safe and

4:23 secured no matter what, no matter what the enemy tries, no matter what

4:28 winds of opposition come your way. I want to remind you of this important

4:31 truth that you are safe and secured. The God is in control. Even

4:36 if things could beyond your control, even if things feel like you know what,

4:40 there's so much a pressure against you, remember this important truth. They

4:44 can never go beyond the control of Almighty God. He's sovereignly reigning over your

4:48 life and he knows what is best for you, and he will make sure

4:53 that he fulfills the plan and purpose that He has for you today. So

4:59 today I pray those who are going through the season of shakiness that they are

5:03 feeling like shaken, they're feeling like, oh my gosh, did the winds

5:08 are just tossing them on every direction. They'll give them the hope and the

5:13 assurance that they are safe and secured in your palm, that nothing can snatch

5:18 them from that, that you are directing their steps, and that you will

5:24 lead them to their final destination. Amen, God bless you. You've been
