trying to go to sleep. But my mind was going a hundred miles an hour, fretting over various things, worrying over several situations, and I suddenly realized I was doing my oh-so-stupid-human-thing... looking at the mountains instead of the Mountain Mover. So I started praying about those things and situations instead.
(Yeah, I know, I just posted those quotes on prayer this morning. Nothing like a little preaching at yourself. *wry grin*)
Anyhow, as I began handing those things one by one to God, and giving them into His care, I started remembering something else, too... my God is awesome, and His power is endless. How did I forget that fact? It's so easy to give everyone else the pat answers, and so much harder to remember them for myself--to KNOW them for myself.
A few hundred dollars can look so huge to me. But to Him? Pffftt. What's a few hundred dollars when you own it ALL?
A body full of cancer? Pffftt. What's a few cancer cells when you created that same body, and know every detail of its innermost workings?
A dangerous situation? Pffftt. What danger?
A thousand questions flying through someone's mind? Pffftt. He had the solutions and the answers all figured out before the questions ever even arrived on the scene.
A tangled relationship? Pfffttt. If he made those crazy personalities, than figuring out how they fit together isn't difficult at all.
A prodigal? Pffftt. He watched them wander down the road a ways, and He knows exactly how to bring them back home again.
Not a challenge to Him. Not a stretch of His strength. Not a test of His ability. Not a pull on His power.
Nothing is hard for Him. Nothing is impossible. Nothing is confusing. Nothing is stressful. Nothing is bewildering. Nothing is frightening.
That's my God.
