Secrets of the Force (How The Lord Really Works)

"Christ gives me the strength to face anything."  (Philippians 4:13)

The Lord is an incredible God.  Last month (January 2011) I have been dealing with the painful process of  moving on from my ministry of almost twenty years.  (The previous two entries in this blog have been my way of dealing with the thoughts and feelings that came with that.)  The major challenge we faced was how our family was going to survive financially and emotionally after this change of life.   We felt so alone and isolated.  Although deep in my heart I really experienced God's peace that some how He knows what He is doing.  It was tough at all levels.  But we knew that as a family we had to really trust that Jesus is moving in our lives.  I pursued options... we prayed about them... we continued to trust despite the unknowns.  Well, the day after our family said goodbye to our ministry I received a job offer to work in a place that I really feel excited and motivated to be in.  I have been there for a week now and the Lord seems to be present there as He was in my 20-year ministry.  This morning my wife shared with me a commerical that airs on the Superbowl.  You have to watch it because this  captures really how it feels for me and my family to experience the Lord at work.  Jesus does give us the strength- or the force  (in Star Wars lingo) to face anything. If you watch this vidoe link you will see how.  Enjoy and be encouraged!  With the supernatural this is how it works... this is how we can face anything.
