No Way Out

How many times have you painted yourself into a corner and felt like there is no way out? And yet, you have gotten through every situation. You may have experienced a setback, but you made it.

With God there is always a way. He operates outside of time and space as we know them. His realm is the supernatural where there are no limits to what God can do.

There is a way to bring the supernatural into the natural. It’s called prayer. Many times I pray as a last resort rather than trying to get in front of my challenges. Perhaps you do, too. I need to flip the script!

Hope is always with us. Let’s place our hope in the hands of the one who can accomplish anything. Let’s begin with prayer…

Mexico

Parts of Mexico are locked down. Tourists are trapped in their hotels while local citizens can’t get to work. Schools are closed indefinitely. This is both a good thing and a bad one.

Here’s the good news! The cartels took a major hit following the death of their leader, “El Mencho.” The Federales took on a dangerous group within their country. They did this at great risk. Now all hell has broken loose. It is my hope that they will continue to root out the evil empires known as the cartels.

Now for some bad news. Common citizens are hunkered down so they can remain safe. It’s unknown how long this will last. My heart bleeds for the people. Mexicans are kind, gentle, good people. They live in a corrupt country. The people deserve better.

The time will come when Mexico becomes reasonably safe to travel to again. The economic cost may run high. Tourism is second to oil in the Mexican economy.

Take a moment to remember Mexico in your prayers. They desperately need them…
