My God is more powerful than.......

I keep saying that I know God is in control of everything. That he has a plan and a purpose, even for my MS. That he is more powerful than any illness or situation I may find myself in. I keep saying that because I want to believe it whole heartedly, and if I say it often enough maybe I will. I want to know it without a doubt. Down to the very fiber of my being.

But honestly, I do have doubts sometimes. That little nagging voice at the back of my mind that says, "You are only going to get worse." "You can't afford the treatments." "You should give up any idea of going back to school." "You can't do it." "You are a failure."

Today I read a great post by John Acuff at Stuff Christians Like. Go check it out. I'll wait here.

Good stuff, huh?

And then I had to ask myself, Is MS more powerful than God? Is my neurologist more powerful than God? Are my medical bills more powerful than God? Is my financial situation more powerful than God? Is my pain more powerful than God. Am I more powerful than God?

No. Nothing is more powerful than God. NOTHING.

My God is more powerful than me, my financial situation, my medical expenses, my chronic pain, my neurologist and far more powerful than my multiple sclerosis.

O great and powerful God, whose name is the LORD Almighty, great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Jeremiah 32: 18b-19a
