Despite And In Spite Of

This picture just shows how incapable we are
and all we can do is depend on the capable God.

Greatness isn't synonymous with vastness. The most-recent typhoon that hit our beloved country may seem too big to be survived with. But stand on the truth that God is greater. He is Sovereign and He loves you so much that He shed His blood for you to have an eternal life. Hebrews 9:28 ("so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.")

God isn't a man who changes. He is constant and He remains the same.
Hebrews 13:8 ("Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.") He is Holy, Just, Loving, All-Powerful, All-Knowing, Awesome, Forgiving, Faithful, Patient, Kind  and the list goes on. 

I made this photo while searching for a Thor photo after seeing it on the big screen.
I was so disappointed with Thor not being able to save his mom and I
was reminded that even superheroes falter but not God.

Thinking of what Jesus did on the cross keeps me going and that's what we are supposed to do, fix our eyes on Jesus. Trust Him that despite and in spite of what's happening He is Good. We may not understand it now, but the Lord knows what He is up to. 

This is NASA's photo of wave at Saturn. People from all over the world waved at Saturn
and it dawned upon me that I am so insignificant compared to the huge space
but our God sees and thinks and cares about each child of His. It is written.
God loves you so much! Despite and in spite of your imperfectness and shortcomings.

And knowing that He knows your name, He knows your every thought, and He sees each tear that fall and hears you when you call to Him just humbles me. How wretched man that I am that He is mindful of me? We are tiny bit of speck in that whole universe but God cares for us. How awesome is that? Known personalities have given their messages about this vast devastation caused by the Typhoon, but have we heard from what God wants to say?

Hebrews 13:5-6 "“Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence,“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”"



In His Pursuit,

P.S. Let us continue praying for the country, the government as they extend help to the victims and to the families affected by the typhoon that they will feel God's comfort in this tough time. Thank you!

From Michelle with love.
