For the past few months I have been praying scripture every day using Beth Moore's "Praying God's Word" card set. It has been wonderful for me and so often God will speak to me through one of the scripture verses.
This morning the verses are from Isaiah 43:15-16...
My Father, You are the LORD, my Holy One, my Creator, my King.You are the One who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters.
I especially like the cards reminding me of just exactly WHO God is and what He is like. So often, as I contemplate the day's demands before me, I get overwhelmed by all the things I need to do and accomplish and I lose sight of the fact that the God whom the winds and waves obey (Mark 4:41) is the God who loves me and watches over me. I love God's Word - especially verses that LIFT my eyes UP to see HIM!
HE is the ONE who makes a way through the sea...a path through the mighty waters!
Today I need the reminder of just exactly who God is to help me deal with the temptations toward being overwhelmed by the things looming over me... I pray today that we will LIFT our eyes UP and remember our great and awesome Father God who makes a way through big and seemingly impossible circumstances...He is our Mighty God...the God who LOVES us dearly!
Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past.
Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:18-19)
May you see Him as He really IS today!

Thanks for sharing, MR! A true, great reminder for the day. I am so happy to see that you are blogging! Sending a big hello and hug from the E. Coast!
I tend to do the same thing, Mary Rose. So many times I get myself in situations that are bigger than me, and then I get stressed and I tend to want to get out of the situation. Instead, I need to remind myself of the bigness of God! Did He not know I would get myself in this situation? Can He not help me and see me through? No situation is too great that God is not greater still!!
