God is SO much bigger!



You wouldn't believe how much satan has tried to attack me since last Saturday. I've heard that happens after a conference where so many people turn toward God and trust Him with their lives. Beth spent a good portion of her message on the topic of fear. She even gave us a gift at the end of the simulcast. It was a 12 page booklet we could download for free, filled with many many verses to help equip us to use as ammunition as we battle our fear. I immediately printed it, because God knows it is something I have struggled with for years.

I was all fired up after the conference and ready to see what God was going to do through me as a result. I was at work on Monday and the second patient of my day scared me more than anyone in my entire career. I do not say that lightly. I wish I could share the entire story, but I can't. I will just say one thing. When it was all said and done, she asked me who I thought was more scared, me or her? I will say with all of my heart that I'm 99.9% sure it was me. It was terrible! 

Satan did a few other things this week as well. Honestly, some of them are still bothering me, but I need to keep my Faith that God is in charge and knows exactly what He's doing. He is so much bigger. Many people are struggling with some great big issues that are way scarier than what I experienced in my office on Monday. I'm talking huge things; trust me! 

I have to tell you that my printed copy of FEAR AND COURAGE The Great Forsake and Take was sitting right next to my printer. I had to give it to someone very dear to me last night. I didn't even have a chance to open it before I was to pass it on to someone in greater need than me. Isn't that just so God? 

I was not brought up with any knowledge of the influence of satan in my life, or of this world we live in. This week proved to me that satan is real. I have been given too many reasons to tell him to, "Back Off" and stay the you know what away from me and all of the people I love! 

This Thursday I am thankful that with God we don't have to be afraid. I'm praying for those who do not understand the depth of His love.

"Be strong and courageous; don't be terrified or afraid of them. For it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will not leave you or forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6 (HCSB)

Have a great weekend,
