Sweet Rest

“Jeremiah, I am the Lord. I am the God of every person on the earth. You know that nothing is impossible for me.” Jeremiah 32:27

This morning as I read this verse, I felt that the Lord was speaking to me, “Sandy, I am the Lord. I am the God of every person on the earth. You know that nothing is impossible for me.”

Perhaps you should put your own name in there and remind yourself that He is the God over all and nothing, absolutely nothing is impossible for Him.

Nothing. Not the sickness in your body, not the negative balance in your account, not the loss of a job, not the loss of a home or the rebellion of your children, Nothing is impossible for God.

I think that every once in a while, we just need to take some time and remember; nothing can compare to our God. We recently suffered loss in the area of finances, yet the balance in our account never dropped, and all our bills are paid. How does that happen? Nothing is impossible for God. I paid my tithe and gave offering; nothing is impossible for God. I had enough to put gas in my tank; nothing is impossible for God. I had enough to buy groceries; nothing is impossible for God. My pain is gone; nothing is impossible with God. I have a house to live in; nothing is impossible for God.

When things happen in life that threaten to knock the wind out of our sails, we must remember that it’s our God who made the wind. We don’t speak to the sail, “Why aren’t you moving?” We speak to the wind, “BLOW!”

God gave us the rights to control our world, not let our world control us. We need to think like God, our Father. If nothing is impossible with God, then nothing is impossible for us in God.

I take authority over every evil force that would try to bring discouragement and distraction. Devil, you’re a liar, and I simply choose not to believe your lies. My God reigns in every area of my life. He is more than enough in me to win over you every time.

I won’t be distracted by what I see in the news. I won’t allow fear to have a place in me at all because my God is greater, more powerful than any plan of man, and He alone is my provider. I will walk in the peace and assurance that whatever happens, you, Lord, will take care of me and direct my steps. You will give me the answers and the words I need to speak in every situation I face.

Psalm 91:1 says that the person who rests in the shadow of the Most High God will be kept safe by the Mighty One. That’s me! Well rested, and I will continue to rest. In fact, I’m so rested that it appears I’m sleep walking. Ha! Why should I fear? My God is greater! My body is just a container for the Holy Spirit of God who is big in me and renews me daily so that I can be His witness in the earth.

Let’s practice that today. Focus on how big God is and how small our problems are to him.
