Blessed and Highly Favored

We are loved and favored by a God who’s love is greater than we could ever imagine. 

We are but a dot in this world. A dot that is seen by a Great and Almighty God. A God who is bigger and mightier than we could ever comprehend. 

We are blessed and highly favored.

 We place God in one of two places in our lives: A God of love or a God who is mighty. Both are true of Him, but we tend to tack Him into one of the two positions in our lives. This was brought to light in my own life the past couple weeks. 

I placed God in the box of love. I knew He loved me more than I would have ever been able to understand. I knew He was my friend and my protector. These are all true, BUT I didn’t trust the big gestures and mightiness of Him. I lost sight of how big in fact He is and that NOTHING is too big for His hands. 

I am blessed and highly favored. I am LOVED by a God who is HUGE and moves in HUGE ways.

At the beginning of this month I began to doubt the presence of God in my journey to the world race. I began to think “maybe I misread Him” or “maybe the reason I am not raising any money is because He doesn’t want to use me over seas.” — Oh man was I wrong!! 

God was preparing me. He was stretching my trust, faith, and preparing me to see a small glimpse of how big He can be and How he will use unlikely people and situations to show His presence. In the matter of a week I went from having 500 dollars towards my trip to having over 9,000 dollars raised. 

When I went to check my account the other day I logged in to my account already doubting the presence of God in the situation, and to my surprise He was about to reveal Himself. I logged on and instantly my jaw dropped and tears began streaming from my face. I was in complete shock. I was at a loss of what to do and unable to comprehend what had just happened. As I am looking through the list of donations I see a name with the number 5,000 dollars next to it. As I kept looking at the number then name, then number, then name and time after time I couldn’t believe it. I kept thinking “surely this is wrong, surely that is supposed to say 50 dollars maybe 500.” Even when it was right in front of my face I still couldn’t see the MIGHTINESS of God!! I was still doubting Him even when He was revealing Himself. 

We diminish the capability of God. We confine Him to a box. We put some padding and stickers and make it smell all nice for Him. We give Him a good place, but what is really happening is we are not allowing the full grace and glory of God to be revealed. 

God is bigger than our box. He is bigger than our circumstances. He is mightier than the mind can comprehend.
