Day 6: Empowered for Greatness

"Lord, PLEASE HELP ME get out of this situation!" Do these words sound familiar? Have you ever found yourself backed into a corner? We often find ourselves waiting on God to bring us out of this or deliver us from that. However, what we fail to realize (or own up to) is that we are backed into corners of our own making. God sees us, loves us and has the power to change things for us. But what I love about God is that He also empowers us. In the words of wisdom from Proverbs 6:5 (unlike so many other places in the Bible where God brings his people "out"), we see God's instructions to us:

"Deliver yourself..."

Though He could wink an eye, snap a finger or merely think a thought to free us, there are times when God has empowered us and is waiting for us while we think we are waiting on Him. Is that where you are? Ask yourself what are you asking God to do where He is turning the tables right back on you and reminding you of the greatness He gave you when He gave His only Son. The Bible tells us in Philippians that 'we can do ALL things'. So today, let's take God at that word and "deliver ourselves" into that space of greatness that is our destiny.

Be encouraged and encourage someone else!
