Just Thinking...

Just wanted to take a minute and write about something I saw as I was reading my Bible today.

Isaiah 43:11 NLT "From Eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done."

As I read this verse I stopped and just sat in awe.
God is B-I-G, big! And powerful. Yet just as big and as powerful as He is, He is also personal and cares so deeply about us that He holds us in his hands.

Check this next verse out.
Ephesians 2:4-5 NLT But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much. 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead.

He loves us so much!

Just taking a minute to share something that caught my attention.

You Can't

The following Blog Post from Perry Noble a few weeks ago has really been challenging me.
Thought I'd share the post. I hope it challenges you too.

You Can’t

You can’t expect to be understood AND obedient.
You can’t do what God wants you to do and avoid conflict.
You can’t expect God to always make sense (it won’t always work out on paper!)
You can’t get to the next level without sacrifice.
You can’t follow Jesus and remain the same.
You can’t make a significant impact in the world if you are always playing defense.
You can’t honor God by trying your best to be someone else.
You can’t play it safe and please God (Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6)
You can’t avoid the tough decisions and make progress.
You can’t expect to impact the world if you are attempting to answer questions no one is even asking.
You can’t fail if you are doing WHAT God has called you to do!
