God Is Bigger Than My Insecurities Series
Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021 (message contributor)
Summary: You’ll never truly find happiness until you are concerned for other people’s joy.
God is a big God. Giving to others in a time of need works like the super moon I keep talking about. Like a Supermoon, the moon doesn’t grow larger from one night to the next. No, we witness simply a full moon when the orbit of the moon is closest to the earth. And giving to others when you need the funds, makes God grow bigger. In reality, our faith in God grows and increases because we move close to God. God loves it when His children are so sure of Him that we risk what we cannot lost in order to see God work both in our life and others’ lives.

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen” (Philippians 4:19–20). Somebody needs to memorize Philippians 4:19 here today. Fellow Believer in Jesus Christ, you have the equivalent of Spindletop underneath you. You do not understand all the resources God has placed at your disposal when you fully rely on Him in prayer, a focused-mind, contentment, compassion, and worship.
When you worship the Lord, the result is you are CALM. Celebrate God’s goodness: “Rejoice in the Lord always…” (Philippians 4:4). Ask God for help: “…let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6). Leave your concerns with him: “…with thanksgiving” (Philippians 4:6b). Mediate on the Right Things: “think about these things” (Philippians 4:8b). The acronym is Calm. Again, when you worship the Lord, the result is you are CALM.
Be confident that God hasn’t leveraged tomorrow’s blessings from your banker. Not the big God of the Bible. Remember, God owns every cattle on a 1,000 hills. I didn’t say He owns 1,000 cattle on a hill but cattle on a 1,000 hills (Psalm 50:10). God doesn’t say, “Be anxious on Mondays,” “Be anxious in times of drought,” or even “Be anxious on test days.” He owns all and he tell you to be anxious for nothing. Instead, the One who owns all things and controls all things, commands you to rejoice and be happy in Him.
You have a Spindletop underneath you, believer. The Holy Spirit is present to calm your anxiety so you can experience the rich grace of God.
