    He's Not Finished With You Yet

    Most of us have known these Bible stories for years. Elijah, Peter, David's Psalms. Nothing new. But somewhere in the middle of a long season of starting over, they started landing differently for me. In this solo episode of Markers for the Journey, I share three people from Scripture who, on paper, should have been finished. Elijah, spent and asking God to take his life. Peter, weeping bitterly after denying Jesus three times. John Mark, the one who quit and was written off by Paul himself, only to become someone Paul asked for by name at the end of his life. I'm not speaking to you from the other side of my own season. I'm still in it. But what I keep finding in Elijah's bread in the wilderness, in Peter's restoration on a beach, in John Mark's second chance, is that God is not finished with any of us until He says so. Not when the window looks closed. Not when someone else has written you off. He restores my soul. Four words from Psalm 23 that carry the whole conversation. If you're in a season that's gone longer than you expected, this one's for you. Standing Stones Ministry | Markers for the Journey
