Reminded of how Great God is!

It's amazing how in the hustle and bustle of life we can lose focus on who God is and how powerful and great He truly is. I just took a math test and I failed it miserably. I feel very frustrated, because I thought I was prepared. However, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out, that I was not prepared. It's funny how when one thing goes bad, then it feels like everything is bad. I know that is Satan's way of getting us to feel discouraged and be discontent, because those feelings are not from God. Unfortunately ,that sin nature kicks in and I'm feeling discouraged and discontent and stressed and overwhelmed. You know the list...it can go on and on and on if we let it. The lie that popped into my head was, "I'm not smart enough to go to college. I don't have what it takes." So, before I know it I'm worrying and stressing about things that have nothing to do with math class. I let my mind wander about things long enough and I'm stressing about, what if my grand kids don't like me because I failed college. It's amazing how fast we can go there. On my way home though, I was flipping through the radio stations when "Indescribable" by Chris Tomlin pops on. I know that was a God thing, because I was starting to feel really down. I YouTubed the song and found one that not only has the lyrics, but pictures that portray the words. I know it's a very played "worship" song, but just take a moment, watch and think about the words because they really do speak power.

Amazing right? It made me feel really small in comparison to the things that God has created. If you think about the nature stuff alone, your mind gets blown away. I could probably spend hours upon hours bringing to mind all the amazing things in our world and I still wouldn't be able to cover them all.
I think it's important to look at things like this and realize that no matter what we're going through, God has it under His control. Just think of it like this...before God made everything we know of come into existence. I mean EVERYTHING. He knew YOU! He knew what you would look like, what things you would like, what would make you laugh. He knew what job you would do. He knew when you were going to stub your toe on the couch and swear. He knew the mistakes you would make. He also knew the times when you would praise Him. He knew everyone you would ever come into contact with. In fact he knew the conversations that would take place and where. He had a purpose for you, before he even knew you. He knew I was going to fail my test and he knew I was going to be mad about it. However, if I didn't have that experience would I be writing this. Would I have realized the power and majesty of God in my state of discouragement? Unfortunately, I don't think I would have. So, I failed my test, there will be others. Hypothetically speaking, I fail the class... I take it again. So, what if I drop out of college, my grand kids will still love me. ;)
However, regardless of what I do or don't do I need to be reminded of how great God truly is.
This is my prayer...Psalm 61: 1-4
Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy.
Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
