One Word...

A familiar math symbol that means greater than.

As I meditated today desperate for a Word from God, I was listening to a song and a word caught my attention. The word was “Greater”. This word is a simple one, yet powerful in meaning. I thought about it for a while and tried to dismiss it. I have to be honest, I wanted and felt I needed more than just one word from God, but that was it. So I began to meditate on it and study it to see what was I supposed to get from this simple word. I started by looking it up in the dictionary. One of the definitions I found was: unusual or considerable in degree, power, intensity, etc. (dictionary.com) I then went to the scripture to find out what He was saying to me with this one word. I found three scriptures that I believe sum it all up. Perhaps it is for you too.

•             The first scripture I found is 1 John 4:4 it says Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. I believe that God wants me to understand and be confident in this fact He is GREATER than my circumstances, GREATER than my problems and most of all GREATER than the enemy!
•       The second scripture is found in John 5:20 . It says “Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.” I further believe that because of who He is and what He has done, I have been “set-up” to do great things, GREATER than I can imagine!
•       The last scripture that spoke to me is found in Job 8:7 and it reads “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase (some translations say “thy latter end will be GREATER). Lastly, I believe that God wants me to know that no matter what my beginning looked like, no matter what my current status is, He is preparing me for GREATER!!!

 And to think, I almost dismissed this word because I  thought it wasn't enough. Thank you Lord for speaking that word to me. I receive it!
