A Fun Little Lesson

This is the funniest commercial- mostly because it reminds me so much of my youngest son. Yet as I watched it, two Bible verses/principles came to mind. Watch, read, and enjoy...

Looking at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, because all things are possible with God." Mark 10:27


.....for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2:13

Go be God's hands and feet in filling the impossible for others today!

A Good Day

The last few days have been very interesting for me. They have been filled with an intricate weaving of the real and surreal. I have seen many changes come about - both big and small, surprise and expected - that have the feel of "acceptance". My natural tendency is to debate, challenge, and over contemplate anything of the like in order to make sure of the best, or most correct, outcome ensues. But not lately.

It's not that I've given up or given in, but that I've given over.

I trust God. I go to Him with my prayers and concerns and then just go alone for the ride. And sometimes that can be quite a ride! Other times I wonder if the ride has even started I'm so bored. Then point is, I'm finally learning to recognize the sweet blessing in trusting God fully in all things.

No, you can't claim that I've had nothing to really concern myself over- I most certainly have. I'm just not worried. If I believe in God and in His Word, the Bible, then why is it so hard for us to live out what it says?
With God all things are possible. - Mark 10:27
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.- Romans 8:28

I'm posting this to remind you of these things we know. And to remind myself tomorrow when the Chicken Little surfaces in me again....
