Something Don’d on Me! (champion)

“From eternity to eternity, I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.” Isaiah 43:13

I read a story this week about Archimedes, the great Greek Mathematician and Inventor. He was demonstrating his new invention called the “lever”. Someone asked how much one could potentially move with such a contraption. He answered, “Give me a place to stand…and I will move the world.”
 
Where do you STAND? On what, do you place your HOPE? Some place their TRUST in their political party. Sadly, people let you down. Some place their eggs in the “BUSINESS” basket. Yet even now, we are seeing businesses close and be hampered by this pandemic…and it hasn’t held up! Some even hold on to RELATIONSHIP…and still, they are holding divorce papers.
 
When things go crazy, and you’re not sure WHERE to stand…it can rattle your confidence. I know it has mine. And it doesn’t take long for that to shake how you and I STAND in this fallen world! If you are in that place right now…TAKE HEART! You are not alone!
 
Our enemy works HARD to demoralize and depress us! And he’s pretty good at it! He keeps firing at us and wearing us down…until we don’t feel like we are worth anything! Make no mistake-I do NOT want him to get glory…but he should at least get our RESPECT. We should realize that our enemy is a strong adversary.
 
BUT MORE THAN THAT…OUR SAVIOR IS CHAMPION! He is bigger than depression or addiction! He is stronger than a Virus or an Election! He has not been surprised by this pandemic! He was not shocked at the riots or the division or the shutdown…or the anxiety that is facing all of us! That verse above from Isaiah says it: “From eternity to eternity…I AM GOD.” The bold and italics I added…but I have a hunch, God said that BOLDLY! He WANTED us to know that and be ASSURED of it! And we should stand on THAT! We should let THAT be what defines us!
 
My dear friends…if you are hurting right now…KNOW THIS:
He is GOD! He is not weak. He has NOT abandoned you or us! He IS working! No one can undo what He has done… nor what He WILL do!
 
If you will stand on that…then we all CAN move the world! Truly…our world needs that more than anything right now. Stand for HIM! Stand ON HIM! He is GOD!

Shalom Alachiem – Peace Be Unto You All!
