“So on October 2 the wall was finished—just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God.”
Nehemiah 6:15-16 NLT

I had a great conversation this weekend with some of my CMA Chapter leaders. I have been in their shoes. They are wanting to serve and they want more Chapter members willing to serve also. It's not that they want an army of CMA members to help. But, they see such great possibilities if they have the people to serve. I get it. If you let yourself you can really work yourself into an anxiety attack stressing about things which you have little control.
I just have two questions: Is your God big enough? And is God still in control?
We can't let Satan convince us that things are hopeless or that we are on our own. This needs to be especially true in areas of ministry and service. I believe God has appointed CMA to service. Therefore nothing man can do will destroy it. God is in charge of our ministry and all I have to DO is listen to his call, his guidance, and his instruction to serve. If he wants our ministry small, it will be small. If he wants us overwhelmed with members, it will be done. Anything in between is possible. We just need to listen to him!
We all have anxious mementos about our lives. We worry. We fret. We dwell on things we can not control. Have we turned our lives over to the Lord? Do we trust him? In all things we need to focus on the Lord. We need to draw closer to him and make sure we are in his will. Nothing else matters.
