There's More!

The word’s of a jaded 6 year old can be funny, affirming and a bit scary. “Nuh uh, my dad’s bigger than your dad!” Those were the words of Brandon as he and another boy were messing around. It was funny because it reminded me of my childhood jockeying on the playground at our elementary school. Instant flashback! It was affirming because I took pride in hearing the conviction in my son’s words that I was the bigger dad. I was a giant in his mind and he felt that no other dad could go against me. It was a bit scary because I hadn’t seen the other dad and he might have been an even bigger giant.

^“4You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” - 1 John 4:4. The cool thing about being the child of the one and only God, is that our God doesn’t get scared. It is an affirming thought to know that when I am on the edge of defeat, I can call on my Heavenly daddy to come to my rescue.

When I am backed into the corner of life and feel there is no way out, God’s Spirit quietly whispers to me in my moment of anxiety, ³¹What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?” – Romans 8:31.

I am calmed today in knowing that there is no threat or force that is being prepared against me that my heavenly daddy and me can’t handle. It gives me a confidence to step out against the world’s bullies and giants and walk with a bit of a swagger in knowing that today, my God is with me.

Be Happy!
