I’m always amazed at just how awesome the love of God is.
When we stop focusing on our past mistakes, failures and current fears and turn our eyes towards the Lord, we’ll see just how amazing HE is.
The Creator of the Universe, the ONE the wind and waves OBEY… will come to our rescue.
Choose to trust Him when the raging seas have you trembling.
Choose to trust Him when the day is gorgeous and your heart is at great peace.
Choose to be faithful.
Be like Abraham and simply Go
Be like Joshua and fight for the Lord
Be like Joseph and do what is right…..regardless
Be like Daniel, praying as always so that even when you face the den of hungry lions, you’ll have peace that passes all understanding.
Be like Esther and boldly take your needs before the One that loves and adores you.
Be like Elijah and remember that as long as God is on your side, YOU are the majority.
Be like Noah and be faithful…no matter how long it takes.
Be like Peter and just get out of the boat.
Be like David realizing that when you are facing giants, that God has already equipped you to win.
Be like Nathan and courageously deliver the word of God
Be like Job and wait on the Lord
Be like Barnabas and encourage others in Christ
Be like John the Baptist and proclaim the name of the Lord
Be like Paul and Silas and praise the Lord with singing no matter where you end up.
Be as much like Jesus as possible so that one day you’ll hear the Father say….. Well done, thou good and faithful servant.
Keep your eyes on Heaven and Follow Him

Awesome breakdown of Bible patriarchs. Really love this line- “as long as God is on your side, YOU are the majority.” How easy it is to forget how large the family of God is. Sometimes we can feel so alone when we shouldn’t.

We, as Christians DO feel alone and more often than anyone realizes. But God gave us so many examples of pretty much anything that we’d may ever have to endure or encounter. Many of us have sick children, but really….who has ever had to offer one up willingly?
I’m just thankful that God doesn’t allow us to travel this weary world alone.
Thank you for the encouragement you are and for the joy you bring my way!

What a lovely picture to remind ourselves. I hope someday I’ll be a good enough servent that someone says they’d like to be like ME. I hope to make our heavenly father that proud.
Really great reminders for the heroes of faith and patriarchs! Great reminders for us all!

What’s impossible with God? Nothing! Great reminder to not be afraid to become all that God has taught us to be. We can’t fail with Him on our side.
What a powerful list! I need this in my Bible as a source of inspiration when I’m feeling defeated. Thanks for sharing!
