Magnify GOD and not your problem!

Life can take you through many "ups and downs" and when you've had more "downs", sometimes you get so overwhelm that you take your mind off God and focus more on your problems or circumstances.  I'm completely guilty of it, but I thank God for his forgiveness and the Holy Spirit's guidance!

Maybe today you are dealing with marital, family, financial, or even problems on the job.  However, have you ever given it the thought that stress and worrying about the situation doesn't change it!  It makes it worst!
I've heard the statement, "instead of talking to God about how big your problems are.....talk to your problems about how big God is!"  Amen to that!  We have to realize that only God can change things and it's when we put our trust and faith in him and his will that everything works out for our good.

"Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified." - Psalm 40:16

Turn your focus off of your problem and magnify God through praise, worship, and prayer.  Chris Tomlin song states that "..if our God is with us, then what could stand against us." Allow his song below to minister to your heart.  Know that God is there and that he won't put more on you than you can bare.  I like to think of it in this perspective....God's word says that we will go THROUGH trials and tribulations.  You see the word states THROUGH!  Meaning that we won't stay in our wilderness or circumstances.  God takes us through various storms of life to grow our faith and teach us!  Magnify God and enjoy the ride!

{Serve} it Forward!

Have you heard of the concept "pay it forward"?  Where you do a good deed out of an act of kindness for someone with the hope that he or she will do the same for someone else.  Well, I have always love the concept and was taught by my Christian parents that it is better to give than to receive and that God wants us to be cheerful givers.  Through my study of  God's word, I have found that I'm drawn to the concept of servanthood and how our life mission should be to love and serve others.

The "{SERVE} it Forward" series will include acts of kindness by serving someone or others on a monthly basis.  How humbling this experience can be to walk like Christ... serve others and spread the gospel.  You truly don't know how much you are blessed until you serve or help others.  I invite you all on this journey and look forward to reading all the future comments in regards to how you've been a blessing to someone!
