Did I hear you say CHAMPION!!

This God!

This our God we serve, honestly He is truly interested and involved in the affairs of men. I was just watching Gladiators on Sky (yes o, I'm a big Gladiators fan..i think the new one on Sky is fab!!!)Anyways, one of the male contenders caught my interest (not in the way you may be thinking!!). My first impression was that he had a rather small frame and then when he spoke, the first thing he said was that he was a Christian, he believed in God and that although he looked like David, God enabled David slay Goliath! I was impressed about how he was so vocal about his faith.
Well the games started but the gladiators are HUGE; Tornado, Destroyer, Oblivion aah even me I really felt for the guy because the other contender was more evenly matched physically speaking to the gladiators. As I expected, when it got to the eliminator there was a whopping 11 seconds between them.

When he was asked what he thought about his chances, he said that God's will would be done. Can I confess?? I laughed, the way I imagine Sarah must have laughed when the angels said.."by this time next year, you will have a child". My sister looked at me and said "You never know". I was like, this guy has lost. Not only is he smaller, the larger guy has a time advantage on him. So the race started and as I predicted, the big guy was seriously in the lead but like from nowhere, the small guy kept reducing the gap until they were neck and neck. Suddenly 'Goliath' fell and my guy got into the lead. At the last obstacle, he didn't have any strength to go on and for a minute it seemed like 'Goliath' would win but as if from nowhere, 'David' got the strength to get to the top and my mouth was agape for a few minutes. My sister just looked at me and said, "I told you so". Even the host on the show commented that it must have been God's will that he won.

As we go into a new week, sometimes it may feel like the odds are stacked against us, we are like David and our challenges seem to be like Goliath but we need to remember that we serve a God who is bigger than any situation that we may face. He is a God who can use 4 lepers to defeat a mighty army, 300 men with lamps and trumpets to defeat an army. He does not look at our physical sizes, he looks at the size of our faith. So, go with God. When all your strength is gone, lean on Him. He makes impossibilities possible.

Have an absolutely wonderful week and remember that 2008 continues to remain our year of UNCOMMON testimonies. It is well.

Remain blessed and highly favoured.

8/5/08

If 8 equals New beginnings and 5 equals Grace then today reminds me that between one new beginning and the next the grace of God is sufficient. I was just pondering on some stuff asking God how many times I had to start over. He said as long as His grace remains sufficient, I can start over. Then as I was labelling something and wrote the date, I undersood what He was saying.

I love you Daddy because you can speak ANYWHERE and ANYTIME to ANYONE who is WILLING to listen. Thanks for making my day today. You know I really needed that.

Remain blessed and highly favoured. 2008 continues to remain our year of uncommon testimony.

Praising Him...home style!!

I AM THAT I AM

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you Exodus 3:14 (KJV)

He is indeed that I AM. He says...

I AM....

the way where there seems to be no way
the light where you seem to be surrounded by darkness
the living water that quenches your thirst permanently
the wisdom you need to unravel the mysteries of life
the refuge that anchors you in the storm
the healing that makes you whole
the word that encourages you in spite of your circumstances
the One who loves you unfailingly, irrevocably and totally
the testimony that puts your enemies to shame
the strength that keeps you going
the shield that surrounds you in the battle

I AM all these and more..you just have to search the Word to discover more. Walk in the knowledge of me that you have and become an overcomer.

There is nothing like taking time to stay in the presence of God, it's a place of comfort and strength. You get what you need to keep going. Life can be difficult but I'm blessed to always have someone and somewhere I can go.

Remain blessed and highly favoured. 2008 continues to be our year of UNCOMMON testimony. Remain expectant.
