What if?

What if?

Greetings J

It’s been almost a week since the fire, and I praise God for His goodness.

As I have thought about this for the past several days, I have reached the unmistakable conclusion that God has my back.

What if the fire would have started when I was not home? 

What if the fire would have started during all the prep for Rayray’s wedding—when the garage was the temporary storage facility for so many of the things we used?

What if the fire would have started the day before Rayray’s wedding?

What if the fire would have started when I was asleep?

What if the fire would have started when I was home alone?

And yet, it did not. Amen, glory, and praise His High and Holy name!

So many “what if?” scenarios.  But isn’t that life?

What if I get sick?  What if I lose my job? What if I never get married? What if what if what if…

And this is the point where I invite you, along with myself, to shift our focus from the “what if” to the Who.

Romans 8:31 “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

It’s a rhetorical question.  It’s the same as asking, “Is there any adverse power that is stronger than God?”

Stronger than the Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth?

Stronger than the Host of the Angel Armies?

Stronger than the Mighty Fortress?

In case you don’t know the answer, it’s NO—not even a fire.  

There’s a bunch of adversity right now going on, but keep your focus on the ONE WHO is stronger.

PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, that You are for us, so NOTHING can be against us; You have us covered. In Jesus’ name, AMEN~
