“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won your fight with these false prophets, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” I John 4:4 (NLT)
Feel like everything you try to do keeps getting shut down? You wake up realizing you set your alarm for PM instead of AM. Heading to work, your car battery dies. Finally at work and the phone rings. It’s the nurse at school, your child is sick. Off to the doctor we go only to find out that it’s allergies, but he thinks your child should see a specialist. We stop at McDonald’s for a treat, but they are out of chocolate chip cookies and sweet tea. All this before noon – it’s a good day.
Don’t give up faith, or let that smile turn upside down – remember God has this. It might seem like your world is crazy, but really it’s a hiccup in what the plan was supposed to look like. In God’s eye’s it’s a great redirection of your eyes.
Satan tries to divert our attention by raining on our parade, and believe me it can be a torrential storm but he has no hold. I know friends who are fighting battles I can’t comprehend; I can only lift them up in prayer. God is always going to come out on top; He’s already conquered this world. The bigger the challenge – the greater the growth potential. Painful? Yes, but the reward is more that we can imagine. Which will you choose in your rain storm – to dance or to retreat?
“Father, You are the great conqueror. I have nothing to fear or to feel as though my parade has been rained out. Thank You for Your subtle reminders.”
For His Glory,
