"He will only do as much for us as we will allow Him to do in us. The same power that saved us, washed us with His blood, filled us with the power of His Holy Spirit, and protected us through numerous temptations will work for us to meet every emergency, every crisis, every circumstance, and every adversary."
-L.B. Cowman, Streams in the Desert, Nov. 25 Devotional
Do you believe that God can meet your needs? Do you believe that God is with you in every storm of life?
I have to admit that sometimes I feel separate from God; sometimes I feel that He's far away. But looking back on my life, I can see how He has been with me every step of the way. He has brought people into my life at the right moments. He has provided for my needs. He has continually given me the strength to keep going through every crisis, emergency and circumstance.
One of my favorite therapists has been with me through some of the worst storms. She has watched God work in my life and she told me a few times that I have been so successful because I let God work in my life. She said some people don't allow God to work in their lives. We need to allow Him to move through our lives, helping us to move forward through the storms.
I honestly cannot imagine life without my belief in God. I can't imagine what it would be like to go through the obstacles without Him by my side. He is my strength, my everything. He has helped me get this far and I am eternally grateful for that.
