God Is Able // First
Reflection By: Clintene Brant, Retired Pastor's Wife

My chest tightened and tears welled up as I read the title of this book.  How fitting that at that point in time it spoke into several areas of my life and people close to me.  There were multiple important life issues that were so totally beyond my control that "knowing God is able" was how I found peace, refuge and hope.  Surprising how much it touched me just reading the title, and 'then' I began to read.  

 

Ladies, we are off on an amazing adventure for the next few weeks.  What a powerful writing that Priscilla Shirer has prepared for us.  I was easily drawn along by her conversational style and transparency.  When her message began unfolding I was transported back in time to the Its in my journey.  My list is not like hers or yours but each one of mine were bigger than me.  Lonely painful places sometimes so deep I couldn't reach up and touch bottom. Some were my own fault.  Some were the result of other people's choices.  Especially intense times with my heavenly Father where Holy Ghost interceded and time in the Word were where I found direction, encouragement and courage.  Pastor's wives retreats, ladies conferences and books similar to this one nurtured me with food for thought and action.

 

Her statement is so true that, "Sometimes His best work is not what He does for us but what He does inside us." Thru each It we can walk in a peace that passes all understanding, because, the Its from before give testimony that He will take care of the current Its.  Those Its are the very reason that today we live and move and have our our deep relationship with our Father.  All those "heavies" reveal our "heavenly" Father who can take the equivalent of a dab of the power needed to keep the stars in place and unleash it on our behalf against our Its.

But.

First.

List.

Your.

Its.
