Where are your spiritual horizons? Is God able to take care of your needs when you call because he is just there and you know it, Or are you unsure? I guess I'm saying "How big is your God?"
The Philistine army had a champion so intimidating no one would go up against him. Read it in 1 Samuel chapter 17.Pharoah's army had Moses cornered in a no win situation. The whole story is in Exodus 14. No one reported the elimination of God's chosen nation the next day.There were 5000 men, with their families, out in the wilderness listening to a wandering prophet, when they suddenly realized they had no plans for supper.The story of this simple solution is in Mark 6:30-44.
In each one of these situations I guarantee you if it was me, I'd be thinking only as far as my immediate family. Maybe just me! As you read these references, put yourself in the story that way. See Jesus break the bread and fishes. Watch with fear and amazement as a boy goes out to face the giant. In my 60 plus years I've learned that if God holds my hand as I pass through deep maybe even rushing waters; all will be well. Just look what he did for the Israealites -- they expected to be swimming!
Your memory verse is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."There are things we dread that if we pray about them -- it's all over so fast, you may say "What was I worried about?" It's all about how big God is in your world.
Read that Bible carefully so you know just how big God is and how much He loves you.
