"If You Completely Understand God...You Serve Too Small a god."

I'm not sure who said it...but this statement resonates in my heart and challenges my faith every day...

"If you completely understand God, you serve too small a god."

Friends, God is the GOD of ALL MYSTERIES. NOTHING is too difficult for Him. He surpasses our most vivid imaginations and supersedes our greatest expectations.

One of my favorite passages of Scripture is found in Romans 4:18-21, it says, "Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead — since he was about a hundred years old — and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised." (NIV)

Abraham didn't try to fake his way through it; he knew the realities of his circumstances...BUT...He knew His God even better. Though He couldn't explain HOW God would provide or fulfill His promises...He trusted that He would.

Many of you have witnessed the last three years of my life, walking with me, praying with me, believing with me...and can I just say--BOY HAS IT BEEN TOUGH!

I experienced moments of doubt, wondered how God would, and questioned every aspect of my faith. I knew what God said, but faced huge obstacles. But, thanks to good friends like you...and a very FAITHFUL GOD...I'm still pressing on! :)

AND...In the last forty days, I've began to witness amazing answers to my long awaited prayers, witnessing glimpses of fulfillment to God's promises!

I feel hope stirring within my heart...and can I just say--BOY DOES IT FEEL GOOD!

I want to encourage you today...We've all received a promise from God; we all hope for something. And, like Abraham, we have a choice. Will we waver in unbelief or will we press through, grab hold of God, and trust in Him?

God's mysteries can't be explained.

On this side of eternity, we will never fully grasp His infiniteness. Think abut it...He spoke stars and millions of galaxies into existence. He spins planets in orbit. He governs the moon, the sun, and the stars. At his command oceans stand still. By HIS WORD everything that is exists...Yet, He is chooses to know the hairs on our head and intimately calls us by name. WOW!

So, take courage! No matter our circumstances. No matter our battles. No matter WHAT...GOD IS AMAZING and HE WILL FULFILL ALL HE PROMISED. Don't give up! Let's determine to press on and simply take Him at His word! :)

PRAYER: Father, thank You for answered prayers. Even when we don't witness them immediately, we know You work all things together for our good. We put our trust in You. We know You fulfill ALL of Your promises. Help us to honor You with our faith! In Jesus name, amen!
