Running the Race

This treasure that we have in jars of clay is more precious than all of the children. It is more valuable than all of the gold and diamonds. It is more powerful than the atomic bomb. God can do absolutely amazing things that will blow our minds if we continue to beg for His will to be done despite our own selfish desires. I continue to pray that His grace and mercy would flow like a river and that all of the feeble dams and walls that we have built up would be crushed to dust so that God may work through us so freely; that we would rejoice in not only the work that is being done around us but also of the work that is being done in us. We are in need of constant molding and continuous reshaping. I pray that we would not tread these waters of life lightly. I pray that we would stand on the Rock in the face of the storm with confidence in Jesus Christ; that He had, has and will always have the power to calm it and I pray that we will declare the same by the power of the Holy Spirit. God, You are ever lasting, ever faithful, ever true, steadfast, constant, a healer, a comforter, all knowing, mighty to save, compassionate, FORGIVING, gracious, patient, just and so much more. God, above all, You are love. I am so humbled that even though all of this is true, they are still not even close to defining You. You are indefinite. You just are. You are the great ‘I am’ because You don’t need to explain Yourself. You created all of this, the sun, the moon, stars, clouds, sky, dirt, trees, grass, rain, snow, planets, etc. You are so big and we are so small and yet we are important to You?! There are so many things yet You choose to love and look after us. You are an awesome God. To love something that hurts, turns away from and sin against You with no record of wrongs is a love so powerful that I continually pray it will be revealed to me, piece by piece. By the power of the Holy Trinity, God I claim Your people for You. God I claim and beg for You to move bigger mountains than we have seen. God I pray for big things, bigger than we can even comprehend. I pray that we would not only say the words that we sing but believe them and proclaim them. I pray that You would reveal Yourself to Your children and make Yourself so evident in our lives that we would refuse to be denied Your greatness. God, You are all that we need. In every situation, God, You were, are and always will be.
