God Will See You Through
Do you remember these words?
God will make a way when there seems to be no way.
Do you believe that?
Through life and many years of ministry, I have seen God make a way when there seems to be no way. God will see you through!
God will see you through the victories
The victories of life are special and great. Any victory we experience in life, God gives to us. Whether those victories are in your career, business, family, sport, or your Christian walk, God is the one who gives us each and every victory. There is nothing sweeter than experiencing victories in life.
God will see you through the losses
The losses we experience in life can be devastating. I have seen families lose millions of dollars. They experienced devastation. I have seen teams lose championship opportunities. They experienced devastation. I have seen people not get promotions in business. They experienced devastation. I have seen couples bury their children. They experienced devastation.
Yet, through it all, God has seen them through these losses. I too have lost some people and some things in my life. I have lost both of my parents. I was devastated. I have lost the praise of men and the desire for places of influence and office. I was devastated. I have lost members of my church to other churches or to a negative agenda. I was devastated.
Yet, through it all, God has seen me through these losses. He does make a way when there seems to be no way.
God will see you through the change
The changes of life are never easy. Change is an ever-growing part of life. They are inescapable. Changes occur through the aging process. Changes occur in your family. Changes occur through your career. Changes occur continually. The only constant thing in life is change. Count on this: God will see you through all the changes of life.
God will see you through the future
Whatever your future may hold, God will see you through. No, we do not know the future, but we do know who holds the future.
Today, if your future is uncertain due to an illness, a disease, a move to a new city, a change in job or career, or your financial posture, please know this: God will see you through the future!
Death awaits all of us. Unless the Lord comes, even death is inescapable. In many ways, every challenge of life prepares us for the final challenge of death.
As the modern worship song, 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman, says:
And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near and my time has come;
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending:
10,000 years and then forever more!
Bless the lord oh my soul,
Oh my soul,
Worship his holy name.
Sing like never before,
Oh my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy name.
Yes, never forget it friends: God will see you through the future.
Please know through all of this day, this week, this month, this year, and beyond: God will see you through!
Yours For The Great Commission,

Nashville SEND NORTH AMERICA Today
Today, I have the privilege to assist the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention with the vision called, SEND NORTH AMERICA. For the past two and a half years, I have served, helping mobilize churches to our SEND NORTH AMERICA vision. Monday night and Tuesday morning, we will be sharing this great vision with at least 175 churches that are joining us during this time.
What is SEND NORTH AMERICA?
SEND NORTH AMERICA is our national strategy to mobilize individuals and churches to get involved in hands-on church planting in 32 major cities and other areas throughout the continent. Cross Church is very committed to this vision and is supporting church planters and their efforts in several of these cities and other areas. We believe in planting new churches.
Why is SEND NORTH AMERICA Needed?
With a population of 313 million in America and another 34 million in Canada, we have 347 million people in North America. Research estimates that three out of four people on this continent do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Therefore, we must be intentional about revitalizing the churches we already have, and plant new gospel churches throughout North America.
How Can Your Church Participate in SEND NORTH AMERICA?
Let me share a few ways how you and your church can be involved:
1. Pray for God to raise up and call new church planters to go throughout North America
2. Pray for financial resources for SEND NORTH AMERICA.
- The more our churches give through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention, the more monies can be used to reach North America and the entire World through all of our Great Commission ministries
- The more our churches give through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North America Missions, the more monies can be used to plant new gospel churches.
- The more churches that get involved directly in planting new churches, the more churches we can see planted for God’s glory.
3. Contact the North American Mission Board if you want to know more about SEND NORTH AMERICA. You may also contact the North American Mission Board at (888) 749-7479 or mobilizeme@namb.net.
Pray for us Monday night and Tuesday morning while we are in Nashville.
Yours for the Great Commission,
Ronnie W. Floyd
