"God's plan for my life far exceeds life's circumstances". - Unknown
I posted that to my FB wall and I love that. How often do we get downtrodden over our current situation and lose sight of God's big picture for our life? Yet it is hard not to get upset when you are experiencing a difficult time, whether it be grief, financial crisis or a relationship matter. We are not robots, we are human beings created by Christ to love and feel. Yet we are told to not allow our feelings to dictate our thoughts for they will get us off track. As hard as it is sometimes, what I do when I am feeling down or overwhelmed, is I praise the Lord out loud. I will walk through my home telling myself I am a victor, not a victim, the head not the tail. I have victory through Christ Jesus and I am covered by the blood of the Lamb. It calms my spirit and it moves the hands of God. It is great if you could connect with someone as your prayer partner. If you are truly private or alone, go onto one of the ministry websites and submit your prayer request there. I do that with Joyce Meyer's site and I know she has prayer warriors praying for me. There is power in prayer so never be shy to ask for one's prayers. Having done all, stand in your faith. Be bold in your victory and keep your eyes fixed on God. Do not allow your current circumstances defeat you. They are temporary and do not define your tomorrow. There is victory in the blood that was shed for us on the cross. We need to remind ourselves who we are in Christ and live our lives that way. Have your attitude, response and motive be pure in spirit and His power will work in your life. My prayer for you and me today is that we are reminded of the cross and how deep His love is for us. God sacrificed His only Son for you and for me so let us remember that and not allow anyone to discourage you and distract you from receiving all that God has planned for you. Be blessed today with God's favor, wisdom and joy in your life.
