Gray Sky Reminder

Donate

You know it’s interesting that even when it is cloudy somehow we know that the sun still rose and is shining above them.

We simply trust that sun will rise each and every day and shine brightly with all of its glory.

We even know that when night falls it is simply because the sun is shining on the other side of the world, but we are certain it is still shining.

I know of no one that struggles with this reality because it is a known fact, and it serves to remind us that some things just are.

It says in the Bible in,

Isaiah 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;

God is always going to be who He is.  He never changes and He never has need to think He should.  He is perfect in all of His ways.  His wisdom supersedes all other wisdom known to man.

This great and mighty God, all powerful, all knowing, all wise, is Father to all who have come to faith in Christ Jesus!

He is your Father and He deeply loves you with the same love He loves Jesus with.

John 17:22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Jesus has given you the glory He had with the Father.  What is that glory?  Unbroken, unhindered relationship.  Full and wide open acceptance and the invitation to dwell before Him.  You need only take advantage of what is already yours through what Jesus has done.

That means my friend that God, although He is very great and mighty, has chosen to love you and be for you and to help you.

Today whatever you may face you need to say to yourself, I belong to a very great God, a great big God, an all powerful God who loves me!

It may be gray skies where you are but you know that the sun will shine again. It might appear to you that things aren’t going the way they should right now.

I can confidently promise you that God your Father is still for you, and if He is for you who can be against you.  By faith allow His love to break through in your situation and bring you the joy and peace it is meant to bring to you even in the midst of your storm.
