Our God is Amazing!

I make no apologise for the highly God filled nature of this post!

When I was younger, I went through the whole girly teen magazine phase. One of the features every fortnight or month or whatever was the horoscopes. If I squinted, they could probably apply to me, but there were days when, not only was the horoscope wrong, it was very improbable that the future as told by this horoscope could happen! However yesterday, there were two separate instances when the sermon at church and my daily bible reading hit right where I was, were exactly what I needed to hear at that time, even though both the sermon and the bible verse would have been thought about and written without any knowledge of what I'm going through and weeks if not months before this moment in time.

If I'm honest, things have been a little bleak over the past 4 or so days. But I have been provided with some fantastic friends who have helped me to keep going. My faith was not at it's strongest, lets be honest, it was hard to pray and the words from the Bible weren't really sinking in. The sermon last night was on worship, and turning our focus back to God. It was a good sermon anyway, but as I said earlier, met me where I am.

I know that having been a Christian for as long as I have, I should expect the unexpected, but there are still times when God surprises me.

And just to finish, Philippians 4:12-13 says: I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

God Bless
