iPod

After work tonight I was in the car listening to my iPod. Chris Tomlin came on singing "Everlasting God". In the chorus he echos words and phrases, but before tonight they had never struck a chord in me until I heard him sing softly in the background, "There's no end to your power". That simple truth hit me all at once. There's no end to your power. It is something I have known, but hearing it in that song tonight made me really consider what that truth looks like in my life.

My family is still in need of prayer. We are still going through a difficult time that only God can deliver us from. We have spent a lot of time worrying about it and wondering what might become of us, but that won't make it go away. Anticipating the worst isn't going to deliver us. Doubting that we can be saved won't save us. But God will.

Van Wilder once said, " Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere." An interesting person to gain wisdom from, but there is truth in it. Worrying about the future won't make your present concerns any less daunting. Dwelling over problems won't change the fact that they're there and they're real. The Lord is faithful and promises that if we ask for anything in His name and believe He will do it, we will have it (Mark 11:24). There is no limit to God's ability to deliver us, and I believe that no matter the outcome we will be taken care of and He will be glorified.

Please continue to pray for my family as we hope in the Lord and believe that there is no end to His power.

"Then you will call, and the Lord will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, 'Here I am!'" -Isaiah 58:9
