BIGGER THAN THAT

Psalm 18:29 NLT 29 In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

I expect we’ve all been faced with situations and decisions that can seem overwhelming and we may want to shrink back or not want to deal with things head on. But then the Lord reminds us that we have the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Greater One on the inside and He is more than enough to deal with any person or situation we have to deal with.

It all ties in with remembering who we are, in keeping the overcoming attitude in our minds all the time, and not allowing fear or defeat or inadequacy to gain the upper hand. On our own we can’t do it but with His Spirit we can!😊

It’s about remembering we are a child of the Most High God and nothing is impossible for Him or with Him, and if He’s allowed us to be in the situation then He has promised the wherewithal to overcome it, not just put up with it!😊

God has placed His own Spirit within us so that with Him we know we are bigger than the enemy that tries to  block us, hurt us, intimidate or harm us. Jesus has already won the victory for us and He says with God on our side we can bring down giants, with God we are a majority, with God we can scale a wall regardless of whether it’s a wall of disease, finance or family matters!

Next time we have to sort something out, or face a tricky situation, let’s remember we’re not on our own doing life, we have the Holy Spirit who is our Counsellor, His wisdom to tap into, His angels ministering to help us, and God Himself is guiding us along the right path, and showing us what to do.

So don’t forget, with God on the inside you are bigger than the offence, bigger than the mistake, bigger than the trial or temptation, bigger than the challenge you’re facing. God is with you and has already gone ahead of you into your day. What a great thought!😊

Thank You Lord. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x 😊

LIFE IS LIKE MAKING CAKES

Isaiah 64:8 NIV Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Life is a bit like making cakes! We throw all the ingredients in the bowl, then they’re beaten together and the mixture looks all lumpy and messy to begin with, but then it all begins to come together as we smooth it out and put it in the oven, and the end result is a delicious cake we can all enjoy!

In the same way we may feel like we’re sometimes in the lumpy messy stage, feeling all beaten up, when one thing after another is thrown in the bowl at us. But we need to know God’s hand is on us and the end result will be something so delicious and worth waiting for we’ll stand back and be amazed at what God has done in us and through us. (Job 12:10 NLT For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.)

So don’t be tempted to open the oven door before the situation is resolved and wonder why it’s not ready yet, otherwise it might fall flat! It just takes time!😊

God wants us to trust His timing and His process. If He’s not changing our circumstances He’s changing us! God is working in the background resolving situations but He’s also making us into something special at the same time.

So, be encouraged today to not give up, no matter how hot the oven gets or what stage the cake is at! God knows what He is doing and He’s promised us His strength and His help because He’s in it all with us to hold us together and make us rise! 

Just imagine - You’re being made into an amazing gateau!😊 Thank You Lord. Amen.
