It is easy to get caught up in the craziness of this life and feel completely out of control. But when things feel the most chaotic, we can have comfort in knowing that out of chaos God leads and makes all things possible. Matthew 19: 26 says, Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Our faith should lie in the knowledge that the creator of the universe has it all under control. When we feel the least empowered, we can rest assured that God is neither surprised or intimidated by it.

The feeding of the 5,000 is such an amazing story and an example of how powerful faith can be. We tend to think on a small scale in comparison to what is possible through the creator of the universe. When the disciples brought five loaves and two fish thinking it would not be enough, Jesus took what they had and multiplied it beyond anything they could have imagined. No matter how small we think our gifts are, God has the ability to turn them into something truly immense and miraculous. When we least expect God to act in a big way, He brings His omnipotence into play and blows us away.

It is impossible to be a bystander in your relationship with Christ. If we are not actively following Him and working to further His kingdom, then we are technically working against Him. In Matthew 12:30 Jesus says, He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Anyone who chooses to remain neutral is no better that someone actively fighting again Christ. To stand on the sideline and watch, when we have the opportunity to engage in the battle, is the equivalent of cheering on the enemy.

2014 Day 275 – Mark 2

Mark 2:17 always stands out to me when I read it, On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. God has not called us to be in community only with other believers. While we do not want to be negatively influenced, we must always strive to be influencers on others in an effort to positively impact this world. God gives us strength and protection if we follow and trust in Him. But if we try to do it alone, we will ultimately fail without the power of His protection.

There are many pieces of evidence that Jesus was God. One of the biggest is in this chapter is Jesus’ authority over demons. Luke 4:35, “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. God, and therefore Jesus, has authority over all things, including demons who are nothing more than fallen angels. No matter how hard life becomes, we must always remember God has authority and power over all of it.

Today, Psalm 46:1 immediately caught my eye, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. God is always there to help and provide peace and security.If we learn to trust in Him, we realize His power is complete. He never fails to be there because He loves us.

2014 Day 195 – Revelation 22

Well, we finally made it through the book of Revelation. The great thing about this book is it completes the story of Jesus and shows God’s ultimate power over everything on this earth. This is the equivalent of turning to the back of the book which tells the story of our lives, reading the last chapter, and realizing in the end we will win. While sometimes we don’t feel it, God is in control now and forever. Thank you for hanging in there these past 22 days of reading this difficult book. Tomorrow we will begin reading the book of Proverbs, followed by select passages in the book of Psalm before reading through the Gospels through the rest of the year.

In today’s reading, John, the author, talks about a time when God will reign for a thousand years without the presence of the evil one Satan. It’s hard to imagine what that will be like, but it shows how much God is in control now and forever.

2014 Day 157 – 2 Peter 1

Today we begin the second letter of Peter to the early Christian church. The intent of this letter was to warn Christians about false teachers and to encourage growth in their faith and knowledge of Christ. The key verse in today’s passages is 2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. This verse was meant to tell early believers, and now us, that we have all we need in this life through the power and love of our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not and cannot grow more powerful because the power already exists through God. He has given us the privilege to participate in His divine nature and to have the strength through Him to help us live for the fulfillment His perfect will and plan. We must count it as a privilege.
