God is Bigger

When circumstances seem insurmountable, it helps to know that God is bigger than my worries or fears. 2020 is not like any other year I can remember. And though my world has tumbled out of place, God is still on His throne. He sees my concerns and He promises to care for me.

But in all honesty, I can get caught up in the uncertainty. I know God is bigger, but in the every day issues, I wonder what He is up to. And the weirder things get, the more I fret about what’s next.

And let’s face it, 2020 has been weird!

My ministry looks different as every speaking event has been canceled.

I am unable to travel to see family – I miss them terribly.

The world seems to be imploding around me. News. Fake News. Politics. Unrest. Pandemic. Quarantines. Conflicting information about recovery.

Storms. Losing power four times in six weeks.

So much!

But God is Bigger Than All of These.

As I sought God in it all…this is what I wrote in my journal.

A Letter from my Heavenly Father:

 

O, Beloved.

Why are you worried?

Is there anything you can do?

This is out of your reach.

You are one person.

But I am, I AM.

*

While you toss and turn,

I work without tiring.

Though you cannot sleep,

I give my rest.

You are one person.

I AM knows best.

*

I know you love them.

I love them more.

If you want to help,

Surrender them to me.

For you are one person.

I AM all they need.

*

So whisper your prayer.

Let go of your way.

Trust Me to do it,

All in My way.

Because…

I AM all you need.

*

I hope it blesses you today, because God is bigger; He sees the bigger picture and will care for everything that concerns us (Psalm 57:2, Psalm 138:8).

O, #Beloved. Why are you #worried? Is there anything you can do? This is out of your reach. You are one person. But I am, I AM. Click To Tweet
