Greater than all

John 10:28-29 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

This journey has been a good one so far, wouldn't you agree?  I have enjoyed trying to get to know more about God and laying out my life so He can correct what needs correcting and instruct me in the way I need to go.  But one of the best things in studying about God is seeing just how BIG He really is!

Jesus is the One doing the talking in John 10:28-29, and He states that His Father is greater than all.  That just excites me as a Christian. Everything about my salvation being eternal is stated in the fact that nothing is more powerful than God and God is the one protecting my soul! I may lose rights as an American one day if this country gets any more wicked and we don't vote in and pray for good leaders, but I will never lose my rights as a child of God.  Nothing and nobody (sorry for the terrible grammar) can pluck me out of God's hand.  I am saved and on my way to Heaven. 

I may have messed up in my life at different times and fallen flat down on my face, but it doesn't take my name out of the Book of Life.  I may have lacked faith and doubted when I should have stood and not feared, but it doesn't change the fact that God is MY GOD.  These thoughts alone made me stop and praise Him for Who He is. 

I don't know where you are in your life, what terrible thing is facing you right now or how low you may be as you read this, but you have a God in Heaven that is listening to your tears drop down and splat on the table and He is big enough to take care of it all. 

God is greater than all enemies you may have, all problems you face, all lies being said about you, and the crowd turning their backs on you.  God is greater than all.  He can save your children, lift your hurting heart, repair your marriage and give you sufficient grace to walk through your day with all its aches and pains.  God is greater than all.

Let's quit acting like our God is some weak-kneed, shaking in the corner, sissy that can't change our world!  He is greater than all and that is the way we should fear Him, praise Him and call on Him to answer our prayers!

Until next time, Lord willing,
