WOW!!! GOD IS JUST TOO AMAZING… LOL

You know, my God is just too good to me. It gets me thinking… Am I really worth this kind of treatment from the God of all creation? Then it hits me, deserves? Maybe not. Worth? Definitely. Why? Because I am made in His image and His likeness, therefore it is only natural that when I conform to His will, that it be performed in my life!

I was having an issue with my extended warranty on my car, and for about 2 weeks I have been back and forth with the Dealer that sold me the extended warranty and the actual warranty company about getting the issue resolved. Apparently, there was no contract even though I paid the dealer for a contract. Now, to be honest, I wasn’t really concerned as to what happened between the Dealer and the warranty company, all I really cared about was having the extended warranty re-instated to an active status so that the Repair Shop could send them the bill for the repairs on my car.

The situation was appearing grim, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt that God was present and working in my favor. Last week God already showed me the car sitting out in front of Bob’s shop, fixed up and running better than ever before. The car had also just been detailed and it looked like a brand new car! With this visual in mind, it was kinda difficult for Satan to deter my thinking that what I saw wasn’t going to become reality.

I will tell you however, that there were times when I took my focus off of God and His promise, and those were the times when I began to question whether or not God was working in my favor. See, as long as I kept my eyes on God, and just concentrated on His Word, and continued to be busy being who He has called me to be, life really was just great. I mean, the trials were still there, but I had a joy in my heart and a peace that really was unexplainable. But taking my eyes off of Him, immediately placed them on me and my circumstances. Naturally it would feel overwhelming because I felt that I was taking on the burden on my own; when I am focused on myself, I, by instinct, focus on my circumstances; it’s just that simple.

In any event, I regained my focus back on Christ, and sure enough, like clock work, the joy was rekindled, and the peace restored. I mean, honestly, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which state of being is better for me to live in…go figure.

But, all glory and honor and majesty be unto the King of kings and Lord of lords! For He has once again delivered me from my circumstances! Because I have humbled myself before Him, He has lifted me up above my trials, and I can proclaim with great assurance that I am an over comer! I am more than a conqueror though Christ Jesus that lives in me! God has once again proven that He is not a man that He should lie; God has once again lived up to His reputation of perfect delivery; God has once again given me reason to have faith in Him to dream big!

See, not only was my contract re-instated and validated and made active, but the warranty company is covering all costs related to the repairs of my car, the Dealer is paying for my rental car, and this next thing is what really blew it out of the water….!! ________________________________________________________

Glory be to God in the Highest! How could I have ever doubted Him in the first place!? What was I thinking!? Oh Lord, I thank you so much for this trial, for it has caused me to stir up the faith that you have given to me; it has caused me to seek you like never before, and in doing so, I realized the secret to joy and unsurpassed peace!

Thank you Lord, I know that you have just taken me higher…
