Hey, I know it has been a while since I have blogged anything, so to get back in the swing of things I thought I would make it a quick one!!
Genesis Ch. 5 "... When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them..."
Sometimes I really struggle having confidence. I think at some point in every one's life they struggle with this. I just want to remind you today, that you were made in God's image. That means you are an amazing creation! You have the ability to do awesome things, just like God.
There is a story in the book of Genesis where all the people get together and and decide to build a city and a tower that will have it's top in the heavens. Now I don't have an hour or so to get into the wrongness of what they are doing or why it happened, but, one thing I find really interesting about this story is what God says about these people.
And the Lord said , "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing will now be impossible for them." (emphasis added)
Now, of course, in this story the people were not doing God's will. But, the amazing thing God says, before he confuses all their language so they can't finish their city and tower and make a name for themselves, is that nothing will be impossible for them. You see, God created us to do amazing things.
Now we live in a fallen world and often times man uses his God given abilities to do evil, like in the story of the tower of Babel. But the good news is we can use the abilities God has given us to do many amazing, Godly things.
If we use our abilities to do good things, unlike the people in the Babel story, God really does bless what we do. Just remember God created us in his likeness, and blesses us when we bear his image well!! You really do have the power to do the impossible when you follow God's will for your life!!
Have confidence!! God blesses!!
