Alexander the Great
Greetings!

How are you this morning? I pray you are having a great morning so far..

We always hear that everything happens in God's perfect timing. But sometimes we do doubt about that and we cannot see the big picture. Take a look at the map above. It shows the Ancient Greek Empire. Alexander the Great conquered all that land. They killed many soldiers and at the cost of blood they had all that land claimed to Ancient Greece.  Where is God? Wait, you will see.
Because of this conquest everyone in the region adapted the Greek language. So when Jesus called Paul to bring the Gospel to the nations, guess what? Paul also spoke Greek and he had no language barrier. For those who lived during the time of the wars, they could not see how all the war would bring some good, but at the end it made it possible to bring the Gospel in Greek to all in the region.

Christ won the eternal battle for us, He made it possible for us to have a personal relationship with God. He will also give us strength to endure the hardships and to fulfill the Great Commission.
God will never ask us to do anything without preparing the field and opening the right doors for us. It is all in his perfect timing. Trust in Him, He is with you always.

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:16-20
