Greater

"...our God is greater..." 2 Chronc. 2:5

Do you need to see God greater today? I do.

I need to see Him greater than...
...the Dr's answers...
...the Hospital Discharger's plan...
...the Community Care Access worker's choices...
...the Long-Term Care facility waiting list...
...the "no bed" placement availability...
...the weariness of a wife, pouring her life out for her beloved...
...the frustration of a daughter, angry at the system...
...the guilt of a mother not available for her family...
...the continuation of medical tests tomorrow...
...the pain of a closed door...
...the fading of a dream...
...the lonely heart of one misunderstood...
...the burden of financial concern...
...the questions that flood my mind...
...the need that overwhelms...
...the condemnation of the evil one...
...the understanding of His ways...
...the failure of my comprehension...
...the mountain blocking my view...
...the worries that flood my soul...
...the battle of the evil one...
...the agenda of Satan...
...the weapons formed against me...
...the insurmountable red tape...
...the resentment that divides...
...the feelings that shift focus...
...the torrential downpour of this storm...
...the shadow that hides His promise...
...the irreversible loss of memory...
...the broken relationship...
...the strained friendship...
...the fear in living every day...
...the knot at the end of my rope...

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule." Matthew 5:3, The Message (Thanks Tracie!)

Whatever you're going through today...know..."our God is greater"!

Bless you dear one! When you feel you can't hold on any longer, remember that HE is holding on to you and not the other way around.
Praying today will have a silver lining someway, somehow.

One thing I love about you Joy is that you truly reveal that having emotions is okay...and that we know they come from God...but you don't allow your emotions to keep you from seeing God and sharing what you are seeing, hearing and learning from Him with others. I love you girl and am contiuning to lift you and all your heart desires up to a GREAT BIG GOD!
