Good morning friends
We have everything we need In God may we come into an understanding of how much God sustains us, builds us up, provides for us and upholds us with his grace in every single situation. You will never be overtaken by troubles when you depend on God.
Nothing is impossible for God to do and for every adversity we face he will keep us.
He takes really good care of us. If only we could look beyond the storm we would see this magnanimous God holding even this world (with that storm) in his hands.
I tell you these things may seem so simple to many but for me they are big - when you fast, God can give you such a grace so you don't even feel hungry. When you are alone he will embrace you so you never feel lonely. How does that work? He does a work of so filling your heart and soul with his love that you are so built up and at peace. Whatever situation you face today he will make a way for you so you are never overtaken by troubles and life's "curve balls" He undergirds you with his everlasting arms.
God knew we would have needs in this world, but he made it so that anything we need could be found in him. I am so grateful that he even gives us uncommon divine peace in the midst of every single storm.
That is really how we prove God's love for us. We have strength, grace, peace and even tremendous joy in this perilous world.
It is amazing the enemy can even be buffeting us from all sides and we still have a peace that passes all understanding and joy unspeakable
Amen
I can testify for many years I looked with anxiety upon many situations I faced and somehow the storm quieted as I chose to refocus and receive God's comfort, peace and grace. Troubles become miniscule when we look at how great God is. It is not that the storm wasn't there anymore, but it lost it's power to cause damaging effects in my life as I gained strength and peace in God.
If we focus on the issue or problem or on what we don't have, that "thing" can grow so big.
I pray today we will stop wishing for things to always be comfortable, that we will learn to abound and to abase in the here and the now.
To worship in every moment we live. We just can't be derailed anymore
It is really in the "uncomfortable" places that we learn to depend on God more, prove him and discover another aspect of his character - healer, protector, deliverer and so much more.
May God give us the mindset of Christ - to live his early years being prepared for ministry. Then when the ministry was birthed he suffered much persecution finally accomplished that great purpose from the most gruelling painful death that would forever change all mankind. Always remember there is great purpose being birthed out of our pain. The crucifixion came before the resurrection.
Jesus lived in focus on the eternal out of relationship of abiding in his father.
Remember today the choices you make have an eternal impact. I pray that God will give you the grace, strength and peace you need for this day week and month. Amen
1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18

17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you
