It is so little I can say!

By prayer let me wrestle, and He will perform;
With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm.

Whatever I ask I surely know And steadfastly believe
Thou wilt the thing desired bestow

The hallmark of anything good in my life is the relationship I have with Yeshua, my Lord and Savior. Each day belongs to Him, Creator of all things. And if I am blessed to have the day, it will be spent standing in His presence, seeking His face, and taking each step with unrelenting Faith. To Him I shall always attempt to give my all and all and nothing less.
We hear the cry of the Psalmist, "Let God arise. Let God reign." I answer the cry by allowing God to arise within me by surrendering self (ego) and letting Him reign over my life. My life is a never-ending pursuit of Him and a never-ending attempt to strengthen the relationship I have with Him by unceasing communion and prayer, Faith, loyalty, utter trust, and supplication.
I believe that there is nothing too big or too small for Yeshua. No prayer is too big. No prayer is too small. Prayer is the evidence of Faith, and Yeshua said that even the "littlest" faith can move a mountain. A little prayer for a little assistance for a little, mundane circumstance is an act of Faith, even if this Faith is as tiny as a mustard seed. Therefore, I shall not restrict my Faith by assuming that a circumstance is just too simple and mundane for Him to be called upon. To deny Him in the smallest of circumstance means that I am withholding the whole of me and limiting His Spirit's dominion within me. He wants my all. . . . and in any relationship, do we not strive to give our all? I shall not second guess His will for me.
Psalm of Thanks
(Andy Park)
Give thanks unto the Lord, call on His name
Give thanks unto the Lord, call on His name
And sing to Him, sing praise to Him
Glory in His holy name
And rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
And rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good
Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good
And His love endures forever
Call upon His holy name
And rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
And rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
Tell all the nations what He has done
Tell all the nations what He has done
Tell of His mighty deeds, all His mighty deeds
Glory in His holy name
And rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
And rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
I withhold nothing from Yeshua, and I am careful not to second guess His will for me. If any circumstance, be it adversity or fortune, falls to my lot, I shall always give the glory to Him. If I call upon the Lord to help find something such as misplaced keys, it is evidence of my faith! It is an act of standing in His presence in surrender. It is an act of relinquishing my control and giving it to Him. To have complete, and utter Trust in Him for all things, for all times is pleasing to Him. It is even pleasing to Him to have faith as tiny as a mustard seed.
My critic ( the young Theology student) may, perhaps, be walking by sight and not by faith. Perhaps? My young critic may also be relying on his own understanding. Perhaps?
Nothing is too big or too small for Yeshua. Big or small, if we turn it over to Him, we are, in essence, glorifying Him in thought and action because we are allowing Him to reign over every aspect of our lifes. Is this not a demonstration of our Faith in Him? I shall always give HIm the glory in all things.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
(Heb. 11:6)
"Let God Arise! Let God reign!"
Amen
