Let the Windows of Heaven Open

I've always found 2 Corinthians 9:8 inspiring in its promises to man. 

"God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."


I'll be the first to admit that God never ceases to amaze me. When I'm celebrating life's successes, He's there. When I hit the valley, I admit I hold on tighter as though we've just jumped out of a plane without parachutes and can't help but realize what lies before us.

Nevertheless, and lucky for me, I was holding onto the one thing that matters in this world...Our Heavenly Father - The Alpha and the Omega - The Creator of Heaven and Earth. 

MOVING PAST THE TRAUMA

2023 was a year with multiple hospital stays and ER visits. How does any of that relate to 2 Corinthians 9:8? I saw it play out so massively in the past few weeks that it was hard not to make the connection. That's when I saw God's hand move through our lives. Without expecting it, we received $800 in refunds one day, the next $975, and then yesterday nearly $4k. Almost $6k in medical bills were wiped away, no longer there to burden us or keep me awake at night.


WHO HAS THE POWER OTHER THAN GOD?

God alone has this power, and I know that. Not that I deserve it any more than His only Begotten Son dying a painful death on the cross to free me from my eternal sins. They are signs of love from a Father who loves beyond words, with grace unceasing and hope abounding.

If He watches over every sparrow daily, why would he not watch over you and me even more?!?

May this message inspire you to see more of God's fingerprints throughout your life? 


Should you ever need a friend to talk to or someone to pray over you and all you are going through, I'm here out of love for my Father in Heaven. Amen.
