Power of words, Power of God on our side!

Good morning all!

So this weekend is my friends Rachael and Josh's wedding! :) Here is the cute couple soon to be husband and wife:

So happy for you Rachael and Josh <3  

So this will be wedding #2 for the summer without Dan, we have almost 2 weeks down sense he has been boot camping it up! Have you ever heard someone say that God can give peace that is outside your circumstances?  Take a look at these verses.
Philippians 4:4-8
 "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."


I love how the word explains how to receive this blessing of peace beyond circumstances. Rejoicing, gentleness, prayer, petition, thanksgiving, Going to God! This is truth today and yesterday and tomorrow. And for the summer and years ahead we all need this. Finish the rest of these verses. And lets walk this out today. Go to God, think on truth! I remember I did a study on this in Costa Rica, and just thinking on truth is powerful. So many worries or wonders are things that are just in our mind. They are not even reality in our day or things that will even happen. When we are children of God, He is on our side. I read a quote my friend Jillian posted yesterday and need to put it here because it is so powerful. The power of words, and the power of God. 


You will never fear God properly until you realize that the very thing that should make you fear Him is the very thing that is for you. The very power that should frighten your enemies should comfort you, The very power that could crush you is carrying you, The very power that could obliterate you is actually holding you together. The second you became a child of God, God became 100% for you 100% of the time. - Steven Furtick 


Good huh?! Oh yeah! Have a happy Thursday everyone!
