COMPLETELY AMAZED

Mark 7:37 NLT They were completely amazed and said again and again, “Everything he does is wonderful….”

“Everything He does is wonderful.” What a statement of truth! There is no one else we can say that about, only Jesus! The AMPC says, “And they were overwhelmingly astonished, saying, He has done everything excellently… NIV says,“He has done everything well,”...

Now we know Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, so we can have such confidence that whatever He does in our lives it will be wonderful, and He will do it so well we’ll be completely amazed!  Are you believing for that? If not, let this verse encourage you to believe!😊

God wants us to know this Jesus, the Jesus who astonishes us, the Jesus who does everything so well that we’re overwhelmed with His goodness and ability. We’re called to ‘know’ Jesus and He is showing us a part of Himself that we need to get to know and believe in, in our own personal lives!

Does Jesus seem distant sometimes? Well let’s invite Him to reveal this side of Himself to us and get our faith out there to believe once again that He can and will do exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask, think or imagine according to the power at work in us. (Ephesians 3:20).

Listen, the power of God is at work in us, the Spirit of Jesus is inside us, the same Jesus who did all things well is in us!

When we pray, know things are changing. When we touch people, know His healing is flowing. When we love people, know it’s His love that’s hugging them.

As we go about our week let’s believe Him to do something completely amazing, something wonderful, in us, for us and through us each day. Why? Because His name is ‘Wonderful’ and everything Jesus does is Wonderful and we are ‘in’ Him! Hallelujah! 😊Amen.

OUR FUTURE IS IN GOD’S HANDS

Psalm 31:14-15 NLT But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, “You are my God!” My future is in your hands….

How comforting that is! Our future isn’t in the government’s hands, or the surgeon’s hands or our family’s hands, not even in our own hands, and we can be so grateful for that! God has dealt with our past, and our future couldn’t be in safer, more loving hands, than the hands of God, and we can find infinite rest in that reassurance.😊

David goes further and then says this, v.19 NLT How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.

I had just read that verse yesterday and thanked God for it, when I received a text with some lovely news about something very unexpected that’s going to happen later in the year and I immediately thought how it was part of the great goodness God was talking about that He had stored up for us! 

God knew all about it long ago and He has so much more goodness stored up for each one of us that we don’t know anything about yet. Now don’t think it’s for someone else! Believe it for yourself!😊

We can praise and thank the Lord now, by faith, for His stored up goodness, and believe for breakthroughs, for unexpected blessings, for His plan for our lives to unfold. Why? Because He has promised us a future and a hope, and our future is in His hands! Glory to God. Don’t you think that’s exciting?

I hope we let these verses resonate with all our hearts today, and allow them to put a smile on our faces as we go into our new week, because God is asking us to come on board, to receive them by faith, to rejoice in them and embrace them, regardless of our present circumstances or what others may say or do! Read them again! Our God is on our side, He is for us, not against us, and He loves us.😊

Thank You Lord for the great goodness you have stored up for each one of us. In Jesus name. Amen.
