Chew until my jaw hurts!

“He was absolutely convinced that God was able to do anything he promised.” Romans 4:21

Still sitting here, right in the middle of Romans 4:21! Rather than trying to process this in my mind alone, I have actually begun to chew on this huge, tender, but tough piece of meat Jesus cooked up for me.

I say tough because I know Jesus is making sure that I taste every flavor that comes out of every bite until it is so fine it cannot be chewed anymore. Plus I know the flavor of His word will never go away.  

I am a meat (The Word) kind of girl, so this is phenomenal for me. I actually prefer the meat of God’s Word over any of the sides that might be offered. Though good at times, the meat alone is satisfying and contains more nutrients for me.

I want this piece of meat-Romans 4:21 to be chewed so long my jaw hurts, yet be so fulfilling as it settles within me, that I walk away from this meal ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED my God is able to do anything He promises.

Then, like Abraham my relationship, faith and trust in God will be full of new flavors and nutrients just as it was for Abraham and I will begin to daily walk in the light of God completely satisfied.

Jesus verse after verse You have shown me Your faithfulness and commitment. You have done everything You said You would, and You have fulfilled every promise. You are who You say You are, and You do what You say You will do. Your yes means yes and Your no means no. Forgive me for my lack of faith and trust and for not chewing on Your meat long enough. Amen
