Key Scripture: “When
you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard
place, it won’t be a dead end-because I am God, your personal God, The Holy One
of Israel, your Savior.” Isaiah
43:2,3 The Message.
Power Point:
I was so sore last night I could hardly stand it. As I tried
to understand why my shoulders and neck hurt so badly, I remembered exactly
why. As I mentioned before I began an exercise program this summer. Yesterday
morning part of that program was raising weights above my head. Last night my
body reminded me. I had tried to lift something too heavy and I paid for it.
I realized that I
can be just as guilty of doing that spiritually too. Sometimes I forget that I have a really strong God who is ready to do the heavy lifting in my
life. You remember Him, don't you? The One who calls Himself “The Helper”;
the One who says He’ll deliver us from every enemy; the One who says He will
heal, save, rescue and deliver us while all the while bringing peace and
victory to our lives? Yep. That
would be your personal El Shaddai, the God who is all
mighty which means there is no one more powerful than your God. That would be your personal Jehovah
Raah, the Shepherd who tends to your needs, provides green pastures for
you to rest in, and cares for you perfectly. Then there is Jehovah
Rapha, your own personal healer.
And that’s just to name a few! He is a great “package deal”!
If you’ve been doing a lot of heavy lifting is it time to
reconnect with the One who wants to be up close and personal in every area of
your life? The answer is “yes”. Have you been lifting and carrying things
without the strength of heaven to help? Well, stop it! Sit down and ask for His
help and begin to believe that He will do what He says He will do and then wait and see what God will do for you because He is who He says that He is and He loves you so
much!
