Welcome to this week's “In the Little Things” Podcast.   In our last podcast we talked about how to see God in the daily grind of life. As we continue to experience the ripple effects of COVID-19 and the aftermath of the storm, we are starting to see, in some places, the beginnings of normalcy. Places are starting to get a policy in place, people are starting to re-gather, and lives are becoming more stable with a vaccine in place. However, we still have a long way to go in our healing process... Listen as Annabelle shares a partial testimony of how God miraculously healed her!

“True Story”…   “Paralyzed to Purposed”

Devotional Insight: God allows us to go into circumstances that we choose by freewill, so that we can see His goodness, wisdom, and provision. It's only when we disobey or make the wrong choices or quite frankly rebel against God's will that we find ourselves in trouble. We push God away, take Him out our institutions or lives, that we find out the hard way that we should have listened to God. That day that was caught in the six car crash, I was not able to control my car because I was too close to the car ahead me and we were all going over the speed limit. I knew not to tailgate and I knew not to go so fast, but I chose to ignore the rules and follow the directions. God did not cause the accident, nor was He caught off guard by my accident. I instead chose to not listen and obey the rules of the road and made all the wrong choices!

Scripture:

(1 John 4:19) “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us!” (Ephesians) “In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us.” (1 Chronicles 16:34)(Psalm 107:1) (Psalm 118:1) “Oh give thanks to the Lord, For he is good; For his steadfast love endures forever!” (Proverbs 3:5) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding!” (Mark 2) Jesus heals the paralyzed man. (Romans 8:28) “We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to is purpose.” (2 Chronicles 7:14) “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Challenge: I do believe that we reap what we sow.  Each decision we make, in our freewill.. we have the choice to follow and believe God's goodness for us or not. My challenge this week is to seek God in every decision and ask Him, “Lord what is it that I should do here? What is Your Will for me in this? And How can my decision teach me something of Who You Are?”

Guided Prayer: “Heavenly Father, Thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for always lifting us up in times of trouble. Help us to trust you and ask you for Your Will in our lives. May we have Your favor in our lives and have our brokenness healed. May we look to You once again! We thank you for Your faithful love, in the powerful name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, Amen, Selah!”
