Do you ever have those AHA! moments. Actually, it's more than that. It's more than slapping my head with my hand and saying, "I should of had a V-8." I think this morning requires a BRICK in my face saying, "I AM GOD, you are not."

Every morning I try to read, Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest and Sarah Young's Jesus Calling. I say try, because other things will sometimes trump that read, like a Bible study or book. Today, it was as if God had these two folks get together to sing harmony in my brain with their message!

First Sarah, the last sentence (the whole thing packed a punch, but let's just recall the last sentence now)

THERE IS NOTHING YOU NEED I CANNOT PROVIDE. (this was the brick)

Then Os the last paragraph (this was the slam with the brick)

If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account. Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God. The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.

Excuse me while I scrape brick dust off of my face!

This Encouragement Cafe thing is more than I can do. I've been trusting Him to provide this past year and He has. However, He has ramped it up to a place where I cannot see HOW IN THE WORLD it can be accomplished!

And He whispered to my heart (right after the slam), "How in the world? The power I send is not of THIS world."

What have YOU been trying to accomplish? Watch out for flying bricks!
