God has stepped in at the last minute more than once in history (remember Moses at the Red Sea?). And He can do the same for you. Keep turning the pages by faith and let the story play out to the end.

As Christians, we're under oath all the time. We're not always required to say everything we think or know, but we're always to speak as He did-truthfully.
David Jeremiah
