Day 7: If Only


RESOLUTIONS~

"IF ONLY" I had

A brain

A heart

A home

The Nerve~

Well

We are off to see the Wizard the Wonderful Wizard of OZ.

But

Lions & Tigers & Bears

Oh My!

Oh My, when a Lion becomes so cowardly.

"IF ONLY" he had the nerve, the COURAGE.

"IF ONLY" I had the nerve, the COURAGE.

"IF ONLY" you had the nerve, the COURAGE to __________!

I think of the cowardly lion~

a lion who I would cowardly retreat from

if I came face to face.

But if the lion doesn't believe he is a lion

where is his COURAGE?

He needs to go to OZ to find it.

But we don't have to go that far to get it~

"For GOD has not given us a spirit of cowardice,

but of power, and of love, and of self-control"( 2 Timothy 1:7)

For GOD has

equipped us with

the COURAGE to face anything

"The Sovereign LORD is my strength; HE makes my feet like the feet of a deer.

HE enables me to tread on the heights" (Habakkuk 3:19).

Because GOD sent

A LION

with power

to give us

the COURAGE

to stand firm

because

HE is holding us up.

"Now it is GOD who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

set his seal of ownership on us, and put HIS SPIRIT in our hearts as a deposit,

guaranteeing what is to come" (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).

Confidence is not in self, that is why the cowardly lion was so cowardly.

Confidence IN GOD gives you the COURAGE to face anything,

& the HOLY SPIRIT gives you the power to do it.

GODFIDENCE~

Standing Tall when you feel so small.

Standing firm in the ONE who gives us the strength

to roar like a lion

in our weakest moments

in our fearful moments

in our unknown moments.

What lions, and tigers and bears do you need to face today with

GODFIDENCE?

"IF ONLY" I had a __________

is only a RESOLUTION

a possibility

a maybe this will happen

But

because

JESUS IS MORE THAN A RESOLUTION

you & I will walk

COURAGEOUSLY

step by step

because

we know

that

HE is always walking with us

and HE is bigger

and stronger

and trumps all things

that makes us shake at our knees.

So stand tall today

and face whatever you don't want to face with

GODFIDENCE~

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your GOD will be with you wherever you go.”

(Joshua 1:9)

"THERE WAS JESUS" (listen to the song below)
