He's a BIG GOD!

Identity Youth was AWESOME last night! We just had a great spirit of camaraderie and worship and attentiveness and flow and receptiveness to God's word and presence. Our church as a whole has been in unity about focusing on God's word lately. With my pastor's series "TXT" and the youth series "LOST" God has really been challenging us as a church body to read, study, and dissect His word with hopes of further revelation about the text He has sent us. MAN!!!! I have seen the fruits of this focus! Our youth are hungrier about God's word and they are sticking to their commitment and it is paying off. I have heard story after story about our youth not comprehending something they read in their devotionals and as they begin to ask God, "What does that mean?" and they begin to further study and research the deeper meaning or the point God is making the in text that they are reading, He has shown and given them BETTER understanding and because of that understanding they are becoming more like Christ. GOD IS GOOD!

This past Wednesday night we talked a lot about facing struggles head on and not fearing the unknown of the future and just truly relying on God to pull us through our difficult times and trusting God to be more than faithful to do exceedingly, abundantly beyond all we could have ever hoped for. I was reading a friend's Blog today and he was reflecting the economy and it's struggles right now and it is so good to hear that even though the world may worry in fear of the stability of our economic structure, we trust in a God that is bigger than money. We trust in a God that spoke the world into existence with the utterance of a few words and He has all of our lives in His control.
