So, a strange thing (ok maybe "strange" isn't the best word) or better yet a Godly thing just touched me. I am currently doing a stay at home mom's bible study with a group of women from church. We are currently studying "Stronger" by Angela Thomas (whom i totally recommend PS). Anyway, one of the lessons of the week is talking about how my God is Omnipotent. Now for anyone out there that is like me, who the heck knows what omnipotent means?? I sure as heck didn't so thankfully she defined it for me (thanks Angela!) Omnipotent means: God's infinite power. The week's overall lesson is 'God is stronger than everything' and His omnipotent is just one of three characteristics that He has that enables Him to be stronger than everything.
So im reading along and looking up my bible verses and filling the blanks. Ya know, being the good little bible study disciple that you're suppose to be lol. And i get to this part of the lesson that describes just a few attribute of God. Quoting Angela here, "Not only is God omnipresent (everywhere all the time), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipotent (powerful), the Bible goes on to say He is
Invisible
Personal
Living Self-existent
Eternal
Unchanging
Faithful
Wise
Loving
Long-suffering
Compassionate
Free
Sovereign
Incomprehensible
Holy
Righteous
True
Good
Merciful
Forgiving
And then she goes on to ask us to look at the list of characteristics above, and to use these words to write a note for someone who comes to mind.
So dear friend, here is your letter. After reading, you will know who you are. XOXO
Dear Friend-
Do not ever forget that our God is wise. And that He knows the ways of our heart and our most deepest desires. He is holy and perfect and everything He does is perfect in His timing. He knows when it is right for you to have another little one. Trust in the fact that He is so good and true and that He loves you oh so much that it hurts. We are so lucky to have such a compassionate God that yearns for us to call on Him just so we can tell Him about our heart aches, our silly moments with our little ones, or even to just say that we really would indeed like it to snow ;) Never forget that He knows you to the depths of the Earth and that everything He does is sovereign, righteous, and good. So do not fear my friend, He has your back. Let go and let Him be your unchanging, true, and loving God that i know you know. Sending hugs your way!
XOXO-
Becky
So there you have it. A God moment and a moment that I felt like needed to be shared. For all you women out there, (& men too lol) never fear, God has your back. So whom shall you fear? As some aritst song says (I'm the worst about artist and names of songs): "If my God is for me, then who can stand against me"
Something to ponder.
Adios!
