Let today be the day that you let go of what is holding you back. Let today be the day that you forgive someone who did something that you called unforgiveable. Let today be the day that you decide to trust God completely. If you make a life changing decision today, then today will be the day that God will completely change your life. Doors will open up and you will have protection from the storm. What you call darkness is actually God’s shadow protecting you. Today is a good day for change, but it’s up to you!
Good day to you all! It’s cold outside, but let the warmth on the inside remind of you love that God has for you when the outside world gives you the cold shoulder. It is a good day!
I am a fan of the movie Star Wars and I have written about it before, but I think that as we face our daily challenges, there is one thing that we can take from the film. In the Star Wars movies whenever anyone who believed in the light had a challenge in front of them, before they went off to face that challenge someone would wish them luck by saying, “May the Force Be with You”. Even if you have never seen Star Wars, you can appreciate someone wanting you to be successful with whatever it is that you have to do, so they basically are telling you that they want a force of nature to walk in front of you to clear out all obstacles in your way, walk behind you to make sure that nothing sneaks up on you. They are wanting a powerful force to walk next to you so that you are not facing your challenge alone. They are wishing that a powerful force would hover over you to protect you from challenges that are unseen. May the Force be with you. All the while this unknown force of nature remains unseen. I must say that the Force sounds a lot like God. Somewhere in the midst of his story telling George Lucas managed to teach a lesson about faith. May the Force be with you.
Dear Reader, on this day I am praying that the Force be with you. Today I am praying that God steps in and walks in front of you eliminate each and every obstacle that is in your way. I am praying that God has your back because sometimes the greatest threat is the one you can’t see. However my God is faithful to us even when we are not faithful to Him, and He has eyes on us at all times. I am praying that God surround you with His protection. I want to encourage you today Dear Reader to walk with all confidence and know that the force of an all powerful God is working on your behalf. Star Wars is only a movie, but let me tell you what the force of my God has done in real life. I am a witness to God making the gas in my car last one more day than it was supposed to last. I am a witness to God making a dollar out of fifteen cents. I am a witness to bills being paid and ways being made even when unemployment was visiting longer than I expected. I am a witness to God working through the kindness of strangers. When I think about it, there weren’t strangers because I recognize the God in them through their acts. I am a witness to the force of God putting me in the right place at the right time, with the right frame of mind and making anyone that doubted me just plain old wrong. Oh, Dear Reader, I want you to speak boldly to your problems and situation. Know that God is going to make a way. God is the only force that you need so smile when you are in a situation that does not look like it’s going to work out. Dear Reader may the Force be with you!
You are beautiful, loved and blessed
John Reed
