When life begins to crumble...

When life begins to crumble around you...don't be afraid-just believe. God's in control-He created what you see and don't see; He holds everything together. These times come and go-each one makes you stronger in Christ...if you believe in Him. Your destiny doesn't depend on what you see-it depends on what you believe. Things that crumble don't last, but God's love does-believe in Him; His love sustains and anchors you...until forever! He wants you to seek Him first-believe He will abundantly provide for all your needs. You've fallen into subtle deceptive thinking-making what you see your security. When these things are threatened, you become afraid-you've come to rely on them for your security. Your security is in God-anything else will let you fall because it can't do what only God can do. God wants you to love and enjoy your life-He knows you need money to pay your bills, transportation to get to work and food to stay alive, but He wants you to find your security in Him. Knowing whatever you face...He's already faced it and He will love and lead you through it. His love sustains you-nothing else can. Don't be afraid as you watch more crumble-speak God's promises. He will never leave or forsake you-He will provide all you need, exceedingly, abundantly more than you ever dare to imagine or ask for... according to the power that's at work in you. The power that's at work in you is how much you believe in God...your faith in Him-your confident expectation that He will provided for you because He said He would. Keep walking by faith, not sight -when life begins to crumble around you...don't be afraid-just believe. God's in control-He created what you see and don't see; He holds everything together!  (Col 16-17, 2 Cor 5:17, Mk 5:36, Eph 3:20) 2/20/13CIFL-LMM
