GOD is bigger! Bigger than your fear, bigger than your anxiety and doubts, bigger than your pain, bigger than your past, bigger than any of your hurts, bitterness or resentments.


The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love ME. I will protect those who trust in MY NAME! When they call on ME, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them MY salvation.” (Psalm 19:14-16)


I often find myself drowning in life’s hurts because Rather than calling upon the LORD, I try to heal myself.


All I need to do is trust in the LORD, with all my heart and soul… and HE rescues me because HE is bigger! Amen 🙏

GOD ALWAYS HAS A PLAN

Mathew 27:46 “About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).”JESUS was perfect! HE embodied all that is good. HE gave HIMSELF UP to extreme torture. HIS pain, unfathomable.
Unlike, criminals and other degenerates that were killed in that inhumane and tortuous way; JESUS had the power to make it stop!
But. JESUS. didn’t!
Because there was a plan to be fulfilled! CHRIST loved us so much that HE endured.
The pain HE was accepting was symbolic of all of our sins. JESUS came to redeem us.
However, in HIS exnruciable pain, HE cries out to the FATHER, “why have YOU forsaken me?”
Lately, (and my pain is not even minutely comparable to what JESUS was going through), I have been feeling left and alone....forsaken!
Then..... my aha moment!
GOD never leaves us.
Just because things are not lining up the way I want, in the time I am expecting (which is usually in the immediate); here I am crying out to the LORD. I am sad. Scared.
However, GOD has a perfect plan.
John Piper puts it like this “it was all going according to plan. All of it was the fulfillment of Scripture — even the worst of it was the fulfillment of Scripture, and that moment was probably the worst moment in the history of the world, and it was Scripture-fulfilled.”
JESUS came to save me. All of our sins is embodied in the torture and horrid pain HE is experiencing.
Any pain or discomfort or sadness, challenges, or hard times that we may face is pale in comparison to what our SAVIOR does for us.
Yet, JESUS continues through!
I, wanna give up! I cry out to the LORD, “take me home” when I am feeling overwhelmed by the minutiae.
I remember two things -One, is that because of JESUS, GOD has not forsaken me, HE is always there and loving me and holding me. GOD has a perfect plan and timing for all things!
Once again, I remember: I can endure all through CHRIST who gave everything to me so I can have enduring hope!

    I am Deni, short for Denise. I grew up in a Jewish home, in a Jewish neighborhood and a Jewish family. In 3rd grade we moved. We moved to a mostly non-Jewish area.... that is where JESUS found me. I say found me because I yet had not acknowledged it, but would find out later.......by grace, HE HELD ME ALL ALONG, just a lil Jewish girl from Philly.
