Today’s devotions reinforces once again the message–if I don’t believe in myself I cannot fully believe in God.  I have to believe in both Him and me in order for me to be as useful for Him as He wants.  Of course I’ve always believed in God and in God using me, it was just that I couldn’t be too effective because I was damaged.  As I write this I see the ugly flaws in this thinking and believing.  If I believe I’m still flawed then I don’t believe that Christ is able to complete His purpose on the Cross.  God is only as big as my belief is and I’m ready for God to be Magnificent and Almighty.

There is a family issue that kept me awake from 3-4:30 in the early morning today.  I wasn’t going to be drug down by it.  At least that is what Satan was wanting to do with it.  I kept thanking God for what He is going to do because of it knowing He uses all things to His honor and glory.  I do believe this.  And, in the meantime, I will keep my eyes focused on what I can do to assist as He shows me.

Our quartet is practicing tonight for the forthcoming Wednesday program.  I will be giving my testimony again but this time I am going to be doing so fully awake and thankful to God.  I want to talk to the guys tonight about this too.  God is using/wanting to use these ministries to fulfill His purposes and I sure don’t want to cripple His work in any way.  To God be all Glory.
