"His Word Of Choice"

 'If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. " Mark 9:23

 "And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.' Luke 15:31

"But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you." Luke 12:31

'Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things are fulfilled." Luke 21:32

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

As a first grade teacher I have the privilege of teaching  my students how to read.  One of the most important tasks in that process throughout their first year is to teach them all their sight words. Those first few words are such a thrill for them when they find themselves reading  but by the end of the year as they are reading through the stack and it has become old and boring.

I think we are like that with God sometimes. We are all excited and so thrilled with knowing Him at first but after a while we can tend to take Him and our relationship with Him for granted. We stop noticing all the things He does for us. In the above verses there is a three letter sight word that He uses quite often. One that like my first graders we tend to take for granted and gloss over because we've read it so many times.

In the natural its just a three letter sight word but as His word of choice it becomes a powerful Blessing that changes everything! For example: what if we were to use a word that means the opposite. Instead of ALL try the word one.

"If you can believe, one thing is possible to him who believes."  One thing. What would you pick? Thankfully, He used a different word! We get to believe for it ALL!

And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and one thing I have is yours.' One thing? What would you pick? Thankfully, He used a different word! That means we don't just get one thing. For our inheritance, we get it ALL!

So consider this....

'Seek the kingdom of God, and one thing shall be added.'
...by no means pass away till one thing is fulfilled.
....abundantly above one thing we ask or think...
'I can do one thing through Christ Jesus.'
...shall supply one need ...

No, thankfully His word of choice was ALL! So we get have ALL things added, ALL things fulfilled,  ALL things we ask or think, ALL things through Christ Jesus, and ALL our needs!

The word All may be a simple little sight word to some but, thankfully when used as His word of
 choice it becomes an amazing blessing from Heaven for all of us who believe!
