My God Is About To Come Through For Me

I read a faith-filled declaration this week that I want to adopt as my go-to statement every time life tries to wrestle me to the ground.

My God is about to come through for me.

My God. My all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present God. The One who was before all things and stands victorious at the end of all things. The One who is working everything for my good. Healer. Restorer. Comforter. Refuge. Peace. Provider. The Great I Am.

My God is about to come through for me.

This is why I will choose to “consider it pure joy whenever I face trials of many kinds” (James 1:2). My trials position me to see a mighty working of my God. I will not walk around with my mind and eyes downcast, I will look up in great expectation.

When I’m tempted to give up, I will instead determine to persevere…

Because my God is about to come through for me.

When self-pity invites me to its party and life starts to feel hard and unfair, I will shout in its face…

My God is about to come through for me.

Jesus made it clear that in this life we will have trouble. A wise teacher said, “There are seasons when life and the enemy will be allowed to test your faith. When those times come will you remain steadfast or will the shallowness of your faith be revealed?”

I love the story, found in Matthew 14:22-32, about Jesus walking on the water to the boat-dwelling, storm-trapped disciples. This was an overwhelming and life-threatening situation for sure. If it were me in that boat, I would probably need a clean pair of underwear when I got to shore! The disciples were terrified. But Jesus spoke to them at once, “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!”

When Jesus said, “I am here”, he literally was saying “the I Am is here”. We see this same name being used by God in the Old Testament when he was talking to Moses and wanted to remind Moses of his unchanging nature. “I Am” is the name by which God wished to be known and worshiped in Israel – the name that expressed his character as the dependable and faithful God who desires the full trust of his people (NIV text note, Exodus 3:14).  

When our faith is tested and life’s storms threaten to overtake us, Jesus is calling to us, “Don’t be afraid! The I Am is here. You can count on me. Let my faithfulness and promises strengthen you. Fix your eyes on me, not on the wind and waves. I am about to do the impossible in your life.”

Will you do something for me? I think it would be amazingly fun and inspiring to see a whole thread of comments below from God’s Chosen and Crowned declaring, “MY GOD IS ABOUT TO COME THROUGH FOR ME!” Will you declare it with me today by typing it out in all bold letters in the comment section below? If you want to get even crazier, share this post on social media which will boldly display the quote square. Make sure to include #ChosenAndCrowned so we can all find it. Have a faith-filled day, beautiful friend!
