God's timing

My kids love to watch Superbook, it's a cartoon about Bible stories.  Today the episode was about Lazarus and about God's timing.  This past weekend I heard a song on the radio and I can't remember the song, but one of the lines talks about how faith can move mountains and God can still perform miracles today.  I have been thinking about those two lines this week, how God can move mountains and still perform miracles today.  Do we have the faith to stand and believe this statement?  Then watching Superbook with my kiddos this morning, it was all about God's timing and that sometimes God has a better plan for us than what we can think or ask for.

Have you ever felt when you were praying that you just didn't know how or when your prayers would be answered?  Sometimes, it doesn't feel like your answers are coming or that your prayers are going anywhere.  Did you know that God still hears each and every one of those prayers?  It just might not be His timing yet for those answers to come through.  God's timing is perfect because He wants to use every circumstance in our lives to show the Glory of God to others.  

As a parent, have you ever had your children ask you for something that you had to tell them no or not right now?  Sometimes, it can be difficult because we want to give our kids the world, but other times we know that something better is just around the corner if our kids can wait for just a little while.  God is like this as a parent that He wants the very best for us, but He knows that there is something better for us if we just wait for a time for our answers.




No matter how big or how small your situation may seem, God can still use it for His glory.  Just like with Lazarus, he was sick and passed away, but that was not the end of his story.  Jesus went to his tomb and told Lazarus' sisters, "If you have the faith to believe, you will see God's glory today."  He then turned to the tomb and said, "Lazarus, come forth."  There wasn't any grand gestures, wasn't any grand answers, just simply, "Come forth," and Lazarus walked out of the tomb.  Did you know God is not yet finished with your story?  He has a plan for your life that you may not see right now, but it is so much better than anything you can think of for yourself.

Did you know that God still performs miracles today to show us and others God's glory?  What have you been praying for?  Have you felt that you just weren't getting any answers?  Remember, today that God's timing is perfect and only when it will show the Glory of God to us and others will God answer our prayer in His time and in His way.

Have a blessed day,

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

Broken Glass Jewelry

Do you ever feel like you have been put on a shelf and no one ever truly sees you anymore?  Do you feel like your life has been shattered and you aren't sure how to put the pieces back together or even if you want to try and put them back together again?  Life can be messy and stressful and difficult, but it can also be beautiful amidst all of the struggles. One of my hobbies is making broken glass jewelry.  Do you know the process is very interesting to make this jewelry.  First, you have to find some cool china or maybe it's not that cool yet, but you see the potential of what it could be.  Have you ever thought that might be what God is looking at when he looks at you?  Do you know that God sees so much potential in you that you can't even see at this particular point in time in your life.  When we are broken or facing difficulties in life it is hard to feel like we have any value in us, but God sees so much potential when He looks at you. In making...
