How often, when faced with something unpleasant, uncomfortable, unknown - do you start thinking about the worst that can happen - and how are you going to fix it?
Do your prayers sound like this:
Lord, please protect __________ from this
Lord, please don't let __________ happen
Lord, please stop __________
Lord, what if this ___________
Lord, what if that ___________
Why? Why do we assume the worst? Can we possibly derail that train of thought? Can we really believe more positively that things will turn out just fine - before it happens?
Help is certainly on its way.
This will certainly be resolved.
I can visualize tensions and struggles de-escalating; plans and dreams are coming together, not failing!
What if I fall? What if I fly!
What if it crumbles? What if it takes amazing shape!
What if I die? What if I live!
Satan at work or Jesus claiming victory yet again!
What if we claim Jesus' victories for ourselves - in advance?
The Lord's got this!
He is at work right now.
I can watch and wait - and see the hand of God move - for my benefit and the benefit of others.
Awesome God.
One awesome, present God.
Right here. Right now. In love like we've never seen before.
Goodness and mercy indeed.
Is there a lesson to be learned here? Before we put ourselves through the wringer yet again?
Lord, I know You will never stop being merciful to me. Your love and loyalty will always keep me safe. (Psalm 40:11 GNT)
Surely (adverb) - used to emphasize the speaker's firm belief that what they are saying is true and often their surprise that there is any doubt of this.
God's Word. God says through His servant David: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (Psalm 23:6)
What if God's Word is true?
All of my days... all of my times ...
