“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
We all faced circumstances when we woke up this morning. Some circumstances we created, some were created for us and other circumstances happened because of the world we live in. Some of our situations are favorable and smile on us, but some circumstances are unfavorable and need to be overcome. Unfavorable circumstances can seem to be small or they can feel monumental.
Here is the good news about God and His grace – God is bigger than any circumstance that we will ever face and His grace supplies more than what is needed to either bring change in a circumstance or to live abundantly through an unfavorable situation. His grace supplies what we lack. His grace gives strength in our weakness. His grace takes us over and above and beyond our ability. His grace is greater!
Are you facing loneliness, depression? God is bigger than that!
Are you facing hurts, offense? God is bigger than that!
Are you facing sickness, disability, death? God is bigger than that!
Are you facing fear, shame or guilt? God is bigger than that!
Are you facing lack, loss, grief? God is bigger than that!
Are you facing divorce or separation? God is bigger than that!
Are you facing temptation, addiction, failure? God is bigger than that!
Whatever you are facing, our God is bigger. Our God is greater. Our God is stronger. Our God is higher. There is nothing incurable, unforgiveable, untouchable, or impossible for God! There is nothing too bent that God cannot straighten. There is nothing too far gone that God cannot reach it. If we think of God in limits, then we are trying to put our God-size God inside a man-size box.
God did not purpose for us to do life on our own in our natural strength. We were meant to live in partnership with a spiritual Father, experiencing His supernatural ability gracing our lives. He is Almighty God and we are His children. He is here, as our Father, to do what we cannot do on our own. Allow God to be big in your life. Allow God to do what He can do because of who He is and because of the love that He has for us.
Application: Ask yourself, “Is there anything I am trying to do apart from God? If there is, I encourage you to invite God into your circumstance, accepting His willingness and ability to demonstrate His love and His power for you. Give Him every area of your life and enjoy knowing Him.
