God's Truth Trumps...reality

Don't deny reality...but don't deny God's truth either. God's truth trumps the reality you're going through- the impossibles you face. Jesus told the disciples, "humanly speaking it's impossible, but not with God...everything is possible with God!" Will you give God the impossibles you're facing today-the ones from yesterday and the ones you will face tomorrow?  Will you let Jesus comfort you when: your bank account doesn't have enough to pay bills, dealing with a harsh supervisor, your gas tank is empty and you need to get to work, family demands are draining you, you struggle with letting go of betrayal, a loved one is self destructing, your heart aches and won't stop, your marriage is falling apart, despair and darkness consume you, fear races through your mind, a medical diagnosis changes your lifestyle, you don't see a way...will you let Jesus make a way for you when you can't see a way? The issues you face are impossible for you to handle-this is reality! Cling to God's promises-Jesus is your anchor of hope; He holds on when you can't. His peace will flood your mind giving you His confidence which transcends all human understanding. All authority in heaven and on earth have been given to Him; the burdens you face are subjected to His authority! When you release the impossible you're facing to Jesus, you move the burden off of you and into Jesus' hands. This allows you to experience the peace He promises because you are no longer trying to manage an impossible situation; your hope is no longer tethered to the burden which caused hopelessness, but now you're tethered to Jesus-Who never fails you. After releasing the burden to Jesus, you make room to receive His peace? His peace gives your mind the clarity needed to recognize the burden hasn't changed-but your perspective has; it's still there, but you're confident Jesus will handle it. You don't have to know how He will handle it, to you choose to believe, He will handle it. God's truth trumps reality...everything is possible with God! Will you let Him trump your reality right now, for yesterday and for tomorrow? (Mark 10:27, Heb 6:19, Phil 4:7, Matt 28:18, ) 6/6/13CIFL-LMM
