I know you’re staring down some really big, overwhelming stuff right now. I know you’re already thinking this really isn’t likely for you. I know there’s a part of you that really wants to dream and imagine it being possible, but there’s an even bigger part of you that discounts the possibility and brings you back to a place of reality. The reality that big things don’t typically happen for you.
Let me tell you about another reality my sister. A reality that is just as real as anything you have ever encountered in your entire life. The reality is, these big things have never looked so small in the hands of God.
Sitting here, in his mighty, capable and caring hands, it’s all possible. It’s all workable. It’s all feasible. Everything you’ve ever hoped and imagined is made so incredibly possible in the hands of God, it’s almost ridiculous. It’s almost ridiculous how close you really are. It’s almost ridiculous how this could all happen. And it’s totally ridiculous how you keep taking it out of his hands!
Why are you doing that? If you trust God with this, then why are you still allowing those dark worst case scenarios to run through your mind?
If you trust God with this, then why are you still worrying about it?
If you trust God with this, why are you letting it ruin your mood, stall your next steps, and halt your progress?
You don’t have to feel guilty over it, but girl you can surrender it again. Today, right here, you can put it back in his hands.
These are really BIG things to you. So big you can’t see around them. But trust me, to God it all makes perfect sense.
Standing in the middle of a large city, it all seems so confusing with tall buildings, crazy drivers and one way streets. But fly over that same large city in an airplane and you see how the buildings are flattened into perfectly stamped squares in a pattern, and all the roads connect by great design. Oh it’s the same city, however now, you’re above it. Your higher perspective reveals how possible it is to navigate when you can look down on what was previously in your way.
God sits high above these problems in your way and he sees how it’s totally possible to get where you want to go. He sees the grid. He knows the connections. He has every step all within his view, and holds every detail within the palm of his hand. And today he says “MY GIRL, THIS IS POSSIBLE.”
It’s more possible than you ever imagined. It’s more feasible than you ever stopped to think. This isn’t nearly as big as it feels to you right now staring up at all the things standing in your way. This can be navigated. There is a way through this.
Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”
The question is, are you doing this with God, or without God? If this is in your hands, it will remain impossible. If this is in God’s hands, it’s totally in the realm of possibility. How do I know? Because Jesus said so!
1 Peter 5:6 “Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.”
Humility invites God to lift you up and show you a higher perspective to get through this. Read it again. HUMBLE yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time HE WILL LIFT YOU UP in honor.
This is admitting we can’t do this on our own. Confessing that without God, I’m a hot mess express. Knowing if I can do anything good at all, it’s a result of God’s Spirit dwelling within me.
And girl, when we don’t humble ourselves, life has a way of humbling us. Either way, God says I just want you to be humble. There’s an easy way and there’s a hard way, we choose the way.
