How powerful do we really believe God is?

This was a question I realised I was faced with in the recent months. Had I let my expectation of God be limited to a box which is comfortable and makes sense and anything beyond that was not on my radar?

In the Bible we read about people being raised from the dead, leprosy healed in an instant, breakthrough and salvation to those a million miles away from living an ‘ok’ life, but do we really believe God could move in the same way today?

I came to a place recently where I was surprised God had answered my prayers in such an obvious and amazing way! I realised these feelings of surprise showed beneath I had limited my expectations of God and let apathy creep in.

God remains faithful and so good to me despite how I doubt Him at times. I am humbled by His unfailing love and how he never lets me go. In the midst of a situation we may honestly think ‘what is going on, where is God and what is He doing here’, but hindsight is a beautiful time and in times of difficulty I’ve seen God’s constant hand upon and presence with me.

Romans 8:11: The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Let’s believe that verse everyday! Amen. XxX
