Seriously...Are You Listening God?

Have you ever had one of those days that nothing seems to be in sync? Everything is going haywire and the balance of power is out of whack in your little universe? I know this may come as a surprise to you, but those days happen often in our house. I'm sure you are thinking, "surely not in the Ayala house!". But if the truth be known, it happens...often. This past week I found myself completely devastated about a situation. Isn't it amazing that we can be grown ups and the "sticks and stones" of life still bother us? As I sat at my desk upset, hurt, angry and disappointed, I actually had the thought, "For real God are you even listening?". I love the fact I can talk to Him just like I can talk to you.



The longer I sat there the more I realized the answer wasn't in my sulking, but would always be found in His Word. I really felt Him nudging me to Romans chapter 8. When I got to verse 38 this is what I read: "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, NEITHER OUR FEARS FOR TODAY NOR OUR WORRIES ABOUT TOMORROW, not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love." You have no idea how many times I have read this verse. But that day it was if God was saying, "Yes I hear you and I know what's going on. Let me handle it. I got this." What a big God we serve!



So whatever you are facing this week know that He knows where you are and no matter what you are up against NOTHING can separate you from His love.
