One thing I love about the Lord is that He is macro and micro. He's the Lord of the universe, but He knows the number of hairs on our heads. There is nothing too great that He cannot do and nothing too small that He isn't concerned about. He has the long-range plan--for humanity as well as our individual lives--yet also directs each step on the paths that we're on. When we know and accept this and engage with God personally as a God who cares and is able to act on our behalf, we encounter the beauty of His majesty and the wonder of His love.
This has been true in my own life, and yet despite a lifetime of evidence of His faithfulness, each new season places before me a fresh opportunity and really a choice of whether I will act in faith or unbelief.
As I prepare for some major life changes, this is the case. I have witnessed God's extraordinary accuracy to detail in His provision, blessings, and timing. This leads me to a high of amazement, adoration, and praise. On the other hand, human nature has a way of magnifying setbacks and distorting truth to where we can lose our steam before we even get to the starting line!
I'm very thankful for the reminder of the power we have through Jesus Himself over difficult circumstances, fears, or lies. The truth is that nothing can separate us from our God of love who not only created the universe, but created me and you! Whose love is so authentic that He put it into action, not just words or feelings: He gave up His rights as God, subjected Himself to human conditions and even suffered a brutal death, all so that all persons could live...and not just now but forever!
I hope that wherever you life's circumstances find you--whether you're on a high, low, or in between--that you can know the joy and security of the life that is connected to the love of a God who cares deeply for you and can do something about your needs, no matter their size!
"Is anything too difficult or too wonderful for the Lord?" ~Genesis 18:14 AMP*
