Why Big Shoes?

Because each day God requires us to walk in obedience, no matter how hard or long the journey. We need to walk in those shoes with boldness, confidence and courage. Everyone needs spiritual "Big Shoes" that will take them to new levels of spiritual impartation and revelation. I've learned, the hardest thing is we need the strength to put them on each day. And that takes faith. Who wants to walk in "Big Shoes" when you have been hurt or betrayed? Who has the courage to walk in "Big Shoes" when fear has your spirit gripped so tight you refuse to trust God to take you through your darkest days? The amazing thing is when you put on those "Big Shoes", the struggle doesn't seem so hard. God and His Holy Spirit carries you through the toughest journeys - even when you think you are walking alone. As you walk, the heaviness of the struggle doesn't seem to weigh you down as much. You force yourself to take one step at a time, pressing, pushing your way through every obstacle that rises up against you.
There is no need to try to do it all yourself when God is there to lead you to still waters and those luscious green pastures. No, walking in Big Shoes, simply means you have the courage to shout out to God, "I can't do this without you". Before you know it, you are at the place He wants you to be, encouraged, empowered, enabled to move forward in faith, confidence and trust.

The Power of His Grace...and Management

God has this incredible way of assuring me that He is in charge. Just when I think that I lost the battle, He steps in and assures me that He has my back. I don't know what is so difficult about trusting Him. Time after time, I "choke" trying to do things on my own.

Just this morning, I was ready and willing to give up on a major project that just couldn't get past the starting point. I was ready to throw in the proverbial towel and say forget it. But God in his grace, whispered to me, "hold on...you may be ready to quit, but I'm not finished yet."

And just like that, he reminded me that when I try to do things in the power of my might, I fail every time.

So instead of quitting, I'm waiting. Waiting for more instructions, more impartation and more of his Diving grace.

With that, I'm bound to be more successful through Him compared to anything that I am capable of doing on my own.

Blessings,

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6
