“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that works in us” Ephesians 3:20
Just how big is our God? When we think about all of the things that run through our mind on a daily basis, all of the things that we say on a daily basis and all of the things that we ask about, we are only touching on a grain of salt of how big God is! He can cater to the needs of the WHOLE world at the same time!! Why does He love us so much? Why is it that He constantly forgives us for the things we say, the things we think and the things we do? Is it because we have been phenomenal women 24/7? Is it because we are “Da” MAN to our homeboys? Is it because we helped an elderly lady with her bags? Is it because we give to charity? The bible tells us that our works will NOT get us to the sweet by and by. But God’s commitment of unconditional love, mercy and grace is what sustains us.
When we look towards the hills from whence cometh our help, we can be confident that it is God that rises us up above the danger, sadness, depression, guilt, loneliness and hurt we feel sometimes. That is exceeding! God is amazing isn’t He? He wants us to think big things and do big things, but it comes with a teeny tiny price. The price is that we must take up our bed and follow him in total submission.
WHOA God! “Do you really want me to do that?” is often the question that we ask Him. But what God is saying is that the sacrificial offering which He gave of His only begotten son, is much more that we can ever give up with following Him in total submission. He will supply what you need and He can exceed all of our expectations.
Ok now, all together, "Lord I surrender and WILL follow you!"
You Did It!!! Now keep doing it!
Have A Blessed Day!
This post is not about someone we knew personally, but about the death of a woman of God that lived her life teaching others the word of God. Pastor Carol Daniels was found brutally murdered on August 23rd in her church, Christ Holy Sanctified Church, located in Anadarko, Oklahoma. Sources say she was found behind the altar of the church where she traveled to weekly, located 50 miles from her home to serve God by serving the community in that town.
We don't know the full details of what or why it happened, but our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and the people in the community that she served. No one deserves to die in that manner or any brutal manner because one of the 10 commandments states that "thou shalt not kill".
We need you prayer warriors to send your prayers to the late Pastor Carol Daniel's family and the lives that she touched, that will be affected by this tragedy. We also need to pray for Peace throughout this world daily anyway, in Jesus name.
