Fearless (Day 5) Week 3

Let's take some time today and think on how Great our God is.  Sometimes our problems in our lives seem HUGE simply because we fail to remember how big our God is ... Read through Psalm 77 and think on this passage today...


     I yell out to my God, I yell with all my might, I yell at the top of my lungs. He listens. I found myself in trouble and went looking for my Lord; my life was an open wound that wouldn't heal.  When friends said, "Everything will turn out all right," I didn't believe a word they said.  I remember God—and shake my head.  I bow my head—then wring my hands. I'm awake all night—not a wink of sleep; I can't even say what's bothering me. I go over the days one by one, I ponder the years gone by. I strum my lute all through the night, wondering how to get my life together.    
     Will the Lord walk off and leave us for good? Will he never smile again? Is his love worn threadbare?  Has his salvation promise burned out? Has God forgotten his manners? Has he angrily stalked off and left us? "Just my luck," I said. "The High God goes out of business just the moment I need him." 
     Once again I'll go over what God has done, lay out on the table the ancient wonders; I'll ponder all the things you've accomplished, and give a long, loving look at your acts.
    O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God! You're the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do— You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble, rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph.
     Ocean saw you in action, God, saw you and trembled with fear; Deep Ocean was scared to death. Clouds belched buckets of rain, Sky exploded with thunder, your arrows flashing this way and that. From Whirlwind came your thundering voice, Lightning exposed the world, Earth reeled and rocked. You strode right through Ocean, walked straight through roaring Ocean, but nobody saw you come or go.
     Hidden in the hands of Moses and Aaron, You led your people like a flock of sheep.  (Psalm 77 The Message)


And spend some time relating the above passage with Acts 17:24-28 ...


The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.  And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him.  Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for "In him we live and move and have our being" ... (Acts 17:24-28)


Spend today looking at your life from God's perspective and trust Him to carry you through whatever you encounter.  We serve a BIG God! Celebrate Him today.
