GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES!!

What is your circumstance? Is it separation or divorce. Did your
spouse walk out on you? Today I want to further encourage you. I want
you to be aware that no matter what your circumstance is, GOD IS
BIGGER. I mean BIG GOD. Capitalized, Underlined and Bold. GOD IS
BIGGER than anything you are going through.

As of today, you need to focus on God instead of your circumstances.
Choose to think about who God is instead of how depressing your
circumstances are. Read Scripture to remind yourself about the
different aspects of God's character - loving, strong, merciful, etc.
Remember that God is BIGGER than your circumstances, and He is
ultimately in control of them. Know that hope comes not from an
absence of struggles, but from knowing God's nature.

Giving thanks will energize you when you are weary and tired both
emotionally and/or physically. Your inner man is renewed and something
happens on the outside. Giving thanks releases a supernatural
strength. A divine energy will be released within you.

1Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you."

This is not a suggestion from our Father it is a commandment.

Matthew 11:28(KJV)

"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest."

As you look at these two scriptures, you have to wonder how you or
perhaps someone you may know can just lay that heavy burden down. It
sounds too simple. Maybe you have tried to lay that burden down, but
somehow it just hangs on to you. You confess with your mouth, "Jesus,
I give this thing to You." Then you continue to feel the weight of it.
It may feel pretty hopeless, but you keep trying the only way you know
how. Discouragement tries to set in. What now? This thing just keeps
dragging you further and further down.

Be honest with God. God already knows how you feel, and He wants you
to stay in communication with Him. So don't be afraid to express your
doubts and fears to Him and ask Him hard questions.

Choose to believe that you can heal. Make the decision to believe
that your tragedies can become opportunities for growth. Remember that
God can bring good out of any bad situation. Ask God to give you a
spark of hope to start a fire of healing in your life.

Whatever is it you are going through in your home, whether big or
small? Whether your
spouse has separated from you or divorced you. God is bigger. If your
spouse does not want to have anything to do with you and is living in
a non-covenant relationship, God is bigger. If your spouse told you
he/she no longer loves you, God is BIGGER. No matter what the
situation, God is BIGGER. Don't think about the bigness of your
problems but think about the BIGNESS of your GOD. You can shout at
the devil and say "I am more than a conqueror and by the power of His
might, victory is mine". Take this challenge upon you and you will
be victorious in the end.

I would just like to encourage you to trust the Lord and lean not on
your own understanding. He alone is Worthy. Regardless of your
circumstance or your situation, never stop looking up to HIM. He's so
much bigger than what you're going through and He's able to deliver
you! God is so faithful and He's Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and
the End. He's Jehovah! He is God and He's God all by Himself. Whether
or not you may think that He's not...He's still in control!

You need no evidence to trust God. He has already proven Himself.
(2 Cor. 4:18). "Look not at the things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal,
but the things which are not seen are eternal"

I encourage you to wait for restoration and not give up. Do not be
disobedient by giving up. Wait and see what GOD is going to do in
your situation. Use this time to get into a deep and personal
relationship with the Lord. We serve a faithful GOD, be faithful to
Him. Declare the Word over your situation and believe God will do
what He said He would do on your behalf.

God has a good plan for your life. This plan still stands even as you
go through the valley of the shadow of death. His plans for you
never change. Trust God.
