God is bigger

Lately, I have been continuing to be getting sicker. Honestly, my faith is wearing thin. As every day comes, my faith seems to be getting weaker. Daily doubts plague me - Why am I getting worse? Why won't God heal me? I am becoming a useless blob. I am failure for not getting well -... I couldn't shake them from mind. Instead these feelings of hopelessness continued to grow with each passing day. 


Then last night, my mom asked for my help pick out a Veggie Tales video to send to my little cousin Genna. We were looking at all of them debating, unable to make up our minds. Then I saw the very first Veggie Tales episode, and we decided that one would be perfect. After we rewound the VHS, we decided to watch it to ensure that it stills works. Little did I know that God was going to use that tape to teach me yet again. I don't know if you remember/know what the first episode of the Veggie Tales is or not. It has two different stories in it. One has to deal with Junior Asparagus being scared and the other has to deal with Daniel in the lion's den. When Junior is scared, Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber fall into Junior's room to teach him about God. They tell Junior that God created the whole universe and deeply loves His creation. They go on to sing...
When you're lying in your bed, and the room is getting creepy... God is bigger than the boogie man, He's bigger than godzilla or the monsters on TV.... And He's watching out for you and me!  (I cut out several parts). 


Then when David is in the lion's den, I don't quite remember exactly how it went, but I do remember the message. Now matter how scary our situation is, God is there to carry us through our struggles.


There's also the song that Esther sings in the Veggie Tales video...
The battle is not our's. We look to God above. For He will guide us safely through and guard us with His love. So do not be afraid. We need not run and hide. For there is nothing that we cannot face when God is at our side.


God is bigger than my situation, and GOD will carry me through this. I do not need to worry or be scared. Now matter how scary or monstrous our situations are, God is bigger than all of them. He will carry us through the situations because of His love for us and to demonstrate His glory to others. I often get so wrapped up in my situation that I forget that this life is not mine to live, but our lives are to bring glory to God.
