God never ceases to amaze me. How humbling to realize that the God of the universe takes a moment of His time to speak to me and you.

Just like God has encouraged me to be bold and speak for Him over the past week, again, as I read Acts 6&7 this morning, He speaks again. 6:8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 6:10 But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.

How cool! They couldn't resist God's words that were coming from his mouth!! If it came from Stephen - another ordinary person, just like you and me - it can come from us too! When we are filled with the Spirit of God, we contain power that is unimaginable to us but we choose to put God and His power under our limitations. Stop putting our God in a box! Stop believing that the struggles you face are impossible to overcome! Stop doubting and believe in the God you believe in! Our God is trustworthy, faithful, and good - nothing is impossible with Him.

The restoration of your marriage - possible, the salvation of your children - possible, the forgiveness you are holding back - possible, loving those unloveable people around you -possible, finding the right job for you - possible, telling others about your faith - possible, trusting in our Savior - POSSIBLE

Don't give up --- keep praying and trusting --- it's possible

Christie,

Thank you for that encouragement! I needed that reminder-it's actually an answer to a prayer I had this morning!
