I am absolutely amazed at how big God is. All we have been through in the past year and where we are right now is like night and day. It was about this time last year I finally decided to start a ministry and follow God's call on my life. It wasn't long before all hell would break loose and God would show me exactly how he needed to use me in this world. Up until the lowest point in my life, secluded from friends and family, my job, and what I thought was important, I was going to use God to get what I wanted out of life. I was going to use God to make a name for myself. I was going to use God to get riches and glory from man….
I know none of you reading have ever thought that….I just hope lightning doesn't strike close to you….
So how big is God? Let me tell you…
2 months ago I decided to raise money for kids in the Ada area who do not eat after they leave school. The only meals they get are at school each and every day. The schools are aware of the problem and every friday selected kids gets back pack to take home with enough food to last throughout the weekend so they won't go hungry. I didn't know how, what, or when, but I did know God was calling me to raise money to feed hungry children. I started reading my bible and praying about how we could do this? What would it take? What did I need to do? One day as I read, I found a story where Jesus fed 5000 people strong.
The disciples were in the same place I was…How, Where, Why….they asked Jesus…He replied,"You go feed them…."
There was no debate…Then I read a little further in the scripture. It says that Jesus took what they had and blessed it and it fed everyone and there was enough left over for 12 baskets full of fish and bread…
Wow, thats how big God is…
We just decided to go feed them….
Over the past few months, I have seen people donate money, time, energy, and effort they didn't have too for our cause. I have seen God provide interviews on TV and in the newspaper so we didn't have to spend money and take away form the reason we are doing this. I have seen God change peoples heart by bringing awareness of the needs in our own town. I have seen God move in schools and groups of students who are donating time to help at our event. I have seen churches donate without question of obligation or affiliation. I have seen young children willing to give up money so they can help their friends that don't get to eat. On Saturday night, November 23, God is going to bless our efforts to raise money for hungry children in our area…
Thats how big God is…
As I walked out of the Pontotoc County Agri Plex yesterday, I looked across the north parking lot and stopped and stared at the Pontotoc County Justice Center…where just 10 months ago, I sat in a jail cell at the lowest point in my life. In an instant, I was brought back to how big God is. How he provided a way for truth to shine through. You see, God doesn't need any help doing His job…He is the boss, we just need to work…
I challenge you today, to make a difference…I challenge you today, to check yourself with God's word…I challenge you today, to let God take over…..
