He is Bigger

by | Aug 14, 2013 | Encouragement, God

I was going to get on my blog tonight and make a post about the positive changes I’m making in my health. I

was going to hopefully not only encourage myself in this journey, but hopefully encourage someone else too. That post might have to happen another day, as my mind is consumed with other more important things tonight.

A former co-worker’s sixteen year old daughter passed away today. My son is the same age. I can’t imagine such a heartache and experiencing such grief. I am lifting this friend and fellow mother in prayer.

Tonight I read a post from Tiffany, a friend of mine who is doing what she can to be strong and stable as she fights for her daughter and her daughter’s health. Insurance companies seem to be calling the shots for Crystal’s treatment, which has got to be beyond frustrating for them. I am praying God clears the path for them and heals Crystal completely.

Seven people were killed locally in car accidents over the weekend. I know what it’s like to have a loved one in a serious car accident, but I pray God never allows me to experience the death of a loved one from a car accident. I pray for the families left behind, dealing with their deaths. And you bet I’m praying for my family members each day…for their safety and protection.
I see heartache and sadness every day at Mission of Hope. It can get overwhelming at times. But there’s a saying that I say often. And I say it because I believe it…God is bigger.

I don’t say this flippantly. I say this to encourage. I say it because I’ve experienced God being bigger in my life. But don’t take my word for it. Take what the true Word says:  If God can bring Lazarus back from the dead…If He can part the Red Sea…If He can rain down manna and quail each night in the dessert for the Israelites…If He can heal the blind man, the bleeding woman, the paralyzed man by the pool…If He can raise Jesus from the dead…He also has the power over the stuff in our lives! God is bigger than anything we ever go through, and He is with us as we go through them. He promises that He will never leave us. He will never turn His back on us. And I’m so thankful for this promise. No matter how hard things may seem, we always have hope as long as we cling to God.

And I cling to Him as I walk through this time of transition in my life. I’m trusting Him with all I have. I’m resting in His promises, His truths, and His love. And I pray. That’s all I can do.

If you’re going through something right now, pray and trust God, my friend. He is bigger.

Are we holding on tightly or letting go?

Abundant life is a free life- living, breathing, and trusting God has everything under control.

Comment AMEN if you agree.

I hear numerous women say they want to grow their relationship with God, but they aren't sure where to begin.

Sound familiar? 

It's not complicated or difficult. Try these rhythms for yourself and watch your relationship with God grow.

Which one speaks the most to you?

Control was never meant to be our burden. 😬

We'll allow God to be in charge instead. (Because really, who are we fooling thinking we're in control, anyway?) 😉

Just a reminder…

Your worth isn’t measured by your productivity, your title, your home, or your highlight reel.

You are valuable because you belong to the One who made you.

That’s it. That’s everything. 💛

You don’t have to do more, be more, or rush harder to live fully.

Sometimes abundant life is hidden in the slow, ordinary moments—
where peace meets presence and grace waters your soul.

✨ This moment? It counts.

Is life or the things in it confusing or confounding you? Or maybe nothing is  making sense right now?

A simple prayer like this one may help.

God is with you, friend. You can trust Him.

It started with laundry.
Then a list.
Then a plant.
Then a fly.
Then… wait, what was I doing again? 😅

If you’ve ever been pulled in 10 directions before 10 a.m., you’re not alone.
Distraction is real—but so is the peace we’re invited to live in.

Let’s pause. Breathe. Refocus.

Abundant life doesn’t require a perfect day—just an intentional one. 💛

I'm @julielefebure, your Abundant Life Mentor, and I'm here to help you live the abundant life you were designed to live.
