My life lately

I read this devotional today....Sunday-Mother's Day and my birthday.  It describes so adequately how I feel about the past 20+ months and I how I view the future.  For those few that might read this, my "man" will be having lung surgery to remove a kidney cancer lesion from his lung.  While that's scary and we can get all tangled and ensnared by the what ifs and unknowns, we have perfect peace. 

So, read the devotional below and hopefully it will minister to you as well. 


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.
Blessings,
