situational

Sometimes it's not just one thing that has or has not happened but the many factors all put together that when all piled on top of each other make a seemingly huge mountain.

Maybe it's yet another car repair that's needed, new struts, new tires, new brakes.

Maybe it's the knowledge that the HOA assesement isn't even 1/2 way done.

Maybe it's the difference between the numbers owed and the numbers that show in the check book.

Maybe it's the frustration that there just never seems to be enough time.

Moving into the 2nd month of the year there is a lot going on. Here is what I know.

God is bigger.

In Genesis God made the whole world, in 6 days and that included man and woman and on the 7th day He rested.

In Exodus God called Moses to lead His people out of Egypt, and God provided for all their needs.

In Joshua God led the people and the walls of Jerhico fell.

In Ruth God provided for Naomi and Ruth and made a way when there seemed to be no way.

In 1 Samuel God blessed Hannah with a son, after years of prayers

In Esther God placed a woman to save His people from the evil plans of Haman

In Daniel God protected the men in the furnace, and not one hair on their heads was singed and they didn't even smell like smoke.

In Jonah God provided a big fish to swallow Jonah so that he could carry the message he had been given to Ninevah.

In Matthew, Mark, Luke and John the story of Jesus and what He accomplished through is birth, death and Resurrection is told.

When I feel overwhelmed, and my hope starts to fade I have only remember that God is the same, He never changes. He was God yesterday, He is God today and He will be God tomorrow. My hope is in Him. When I feel like I can't keep up my pace, He is where I turn. When I feel like my prayers are hitting the ceiling, I pray harder. He is always there, always good, always faithful.
