Faith Doesn't Make Sense, It Makes Miracles

Believing is the first step towards becoming greater. The second step is realizing that sometimes the journey to God begins through an unlikely source. Faith doesn't make sense, it makes miracles. The third step is knowing God's faithfulness is most effectively learned when experienced. And the fourth step is knowing and believing that God's grace never runs dry. It is ALWAYS enough!

What makes faith valid is not its subjective strength, but the trustworthiness of its object. Jesus is the object of our faith. It is Him in whom we trust…not ourselves, not our emotions, not our abilities…but in Him alone.

Before God can work through us, He must work in us!

Being equipped with Truth enables us to face our trials from an entirely different perspective.

We must remember that there is always a rainbow surrounding Christ. Whatever His gifts, He designed them just for you, to bring ministry to His hurting world. I always want to have open hands to God because He can never fill clenched fists. Remember and never forget BLESSINGS follow OBEDIENCE!

The devil loves to make us focus on the little that is wrong so we miss the big picture of all that's right. We live in a world full of noise. It drowns out, covers up and pushes aside the bigger picture. Life doesn't make common sense, yet we serve an uncommon God. The one who formed you. The one who has a plan. We should never dwell on tomorrow. Remember it is God's not ours. We tend to focus on the obstacles when we should be focusing on the opportunities...God's opportunities - To show our brokenness, that His name be lifted high. Sharing brokenness with one another is a gift. When we take the brave step of sharing our ugliness, our pain, our broken pieces, then His beauty can shine through, and it is truly beautiful. He gets the glory of a life redeemed, not us.

We all want God's highest and best for the New Year. But committing to a New Year's resolution will not bring profound lasting life change. Why? Because we focus on the end result, not the process. God builds character before He calls a leader. God humbles a heart before He calls a servant.

Committing your heart to God...studying, learning, and praying God's Word...that is what will bring eternal, lasting life transformation...A TRUE MIRACLE!

Blessings,
