James 1:18 ...And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.
It's amazing how the word of God can be such an encouragement whenever you need it. The other day I knew I'd be having tests and the night before the Lord gave me the verse in Psalm 112:7 "They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care of them", which gave me so much peace. It's for anyone else reading it too!
May I pass on to you another one that has been such a blessing? It's in 2 Timothy 4:18 Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God for ever and ever! Amen. Do you need delivering from any kind of attack of the enemy, then lay hold of this verse for yourself for it's for each one of us. It says He will deliver us, not maybe!😊
We have to keep reminding ourselves who we are, that God says we are His prized possession so we know He knows everything that's going on with us and He wants us to cast our cares on Him.
So whether it's family concerns, financial difficulties, issues at work or even with a friend, but no matter how big or small, whether it's health troubles or emotional ups and downs, God is our loving, powerful Heavenly Father whose love for us is so big that He wants us to run to Him for comfort, wisdom and provision in every area.
Maybe it's time to start asking big prayers and allow God to surprise us. Not just "Lord help me get through another day but Lord cause me to be healthy and thrive to such an extent I'm an inspiration to others who say 'If God can do it for her/him, then He can do it for me!'"
I think the bigger the prayer the more pleased God is! Not just "Lord save my family member, but Lord save my whole family." Not just "Lord bless me, but Lord let me be a massive blessing to someone else as well.."
Let's not forget we are His prized possession and that He'd like to answer some big prayers because nothing is too hard for Him and nothing is impossible to him who believes.😊
