My dad teaches a faith clinic each week on Thursday nights. One of the messages he gave us a couple months ago stemmed around understanding that God is bigger than the situation at hand.
Often times, we waver in faith when things start to look tough. I am learning that looks can be deceiving.
In fact, I am learning that keeping my focus on the prize (Jesus) and my mind and soul in the right place, makes it so much easier to ignore what the situation looks like. I haven't always thought this way, I've told you before I used to be the biggest worry wart. I now know it got me nowhere, and in fact I was worse off with a headache of worry.
Understanding that God's word tells us that ALL things work together for my good because I love and follow Christ, makes me put the load on Him! Yes, ALL things. I talk to God all the time and remind Him of His word:
"Ok, Jesus, I know what it looks like, but you said ALL things work together for my good - so I am trusting you to work out your plan for my good!"
What a great opportunity to give your stresses up to the Lord!
He will take them with open arms.
How great is our God!
Hoping this encourages you to enjoy your Thursday!

I needed this reminder today. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI meditate on this verse a lot and sometimes even though I do that, I do worry about the situation, but once I really let this get into my spirit, I know that I have victory.
