The Awesomeness of God

This past Sunday, we shared our testimony in church and about how God's awesomeness has been revealed to us throughout the past year and a half. When our pastor first asked us to share, we were a bit hesitant. It would be the first time we would be telling our story in front of a large audience and we weren't sure if we would be able to hold it together. It's a lot easier to write about it on my blog than to actually talk about it. The day after Pastor Phillip spoke to us about sharing, this was my daily devotional:



If we desire to fully walk with Christ, there is a cost. If we are fully given over to Him and His will for our life, it will be a life that will have adversity. The Bible is clear that we do not achieve greatness without having our sinful will broken. If God has plans to greatly use you in the lives of others, you can expect your trials to be even greater than those of others. Why? Because, like Joseph who went through greater trials than most patriarchs, your calling may have such responsibility that God cannot afford to entrust it to you without ensuring your complete faithfulness to the call. He has much invested in you on behalf of others. He may want to speak through your life to a greater degree than through another. The events of your life would become the frame for the message He wants to speak through you. Do not fear the path that God may lead you on. Embrace it. For God may bring you down a path in your life to ensure the reward of your inheritance.


Talk about a "God-thing". I really felt like He was trying to give me some encouragement to share. Needless to say, we managed to get through it, so thanks to our church family for listening and thanks to our pastor for giving us the chance to share. Our hope is that someone will benefit from hearing our story and that the Spirit will move through them.

In His Love...
