The sufficiency of my Shepherd


The Sufficiency of God's Power

To Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, . . . be glory.
Ephesians 3:20-21, NKJV
If you are questioning the sufficiency of God's power to resolve your problems and pressures, your suffering and stress, your crisis and change, His answer is the same. The infinite power of the Living Logos of God is adequate for any need you or I will ever have.
We may intellectually grasp the truth that God's power is adequate, but we can never know that by experience if we stay in our comfort zone. If all you ever attempt is what you know you can do yourself, if all your needs seem to be met through someone or something other than God, if you never have any difficulties that are greater than you can bear-how will you know the awesome greatness and personal availability of His infinite power? It's when the Red Sea is before you, the mountains are on one side of you, the desert is on the other side, and you feel the Egyptian army closing in from behind that you experience His power to open up an escape route. He has power to do the supernatural, the unthinkable, the impossible.



I have 2 jobs.
Never did I think this could happen.
They are both PT.
The bills mount and the insurances remain unpaid.
I know this is an issue, let I loose the policies.

Lord, my Shepherd, I do not worry like I did before
because
I know you will provide in your TIME
which is never my time
but I am asking you know to provide
Chris Stepanovich with a job
so they can continue to need me
and thus I get $10/hr with hours.

You are also sufficient to help me get my head and WILL
around my tax situation.
I procrastinate.
You know full well.

Then I need to ready myself for the rummage sale
and get things done for that.

Sometimes I feel like I am drowning
in rummage and paperwork for taxes.

Just like you helped me with smoking
please do the same with
MY WILL
to do tax stuff
rummage stuff
keep Chris employed.

Did I officially ever thank you for the job at dressbarn?
You did a miracle for me by providing in such a short time and 
I so thank you.



 What do you think is so small that it's too small for God to notice?
A small tear?
A small hurt feeling?
A small insult?
A small sin?
A small worry?
Nothing is too small for the Creator's attention and activity!
