Each day after we have home schooled and have finished lunch....I put Madi down for her nap and then let the 2 older kids have a quiet time movie. Usually it some silly cartoon they have picked out and it gives them the opportunity to just unwind for a little while, but today I decided it would be fun to all watch Facing The Giants together! If you have not seen it I highly suggest it! Love this movie and powerful underlying theme.....WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN GOD IS IN IT????? NOTHING!!
How many times a day do I need to be reminded of that message. As we are beginning to reach the end of our journey here at seminary I find myself hearing all that everyone is saying about how difficult it is to find a ministry out there. It's not how much you know but who you know. I start doubting this journey, maybe we should have stayed put...maybe we can go back home....maybe we can stay here.
Satan seizes that little crack of fear that tiny sliver of doubt ( or gaping hole sometimes on my part) and he runs with it. I mean he isn't called the prince of lies for no reason! He preys on these chinks in my already weakened armor. It is not by chance that he camps out here, he is the ultimate deceiver. He has a brutal and vicious attack planned, it all comes down to my faithfulness in my relationship with the One and only who can defeat him!!
This movies awakens in me everytime I watch it how powerful my God is!! It helps that I love football too. As I watch little David and those Eagles line up against those 85 giants it brings it home over and over again! They shouldn't win, they can't win, there is no way the could win....but wait! David stands there ready to kick the longest field goal he has ever attempted and he simply says "God help me make this field goal" The wind stops and then begins to blow the opposite way and he kicks with all his might and it goes in and they have done it!!!! The Lord has shown himself mighty in this teams lives!! They have honored him in their actions they have worn His word out onto the field and into their lives and He has blessed them!!
AHHHH! I love it...of course I am always a sucker for a happy ending!
I know that with God on my side nothing is impossible. He has showed himself strong over and over in my life and I know He is not about to stop now! I know that as we continue to faithfully serve Him, He will open the Doors that need to be open and guide us with each step we take. I am so very thankful that He is the ultimate source of strength and wisdom and He sees fit to bless us with it.
