This morning at breakfast my teenage daughter had an anxious look on her face. She has several big things on her plate this weekend. I could tell she was worrying.  I reminded her of two things. The first came from her youth pastor, Greg Summers, last night. He reminded a group of kids who were dealing with a tragedy that “Whenever you start to get overwhelmed keep your thoughts focused on the Great I Am. Look at our great and mighty God, not the circumstances.” Second I reminded her of my favorite quote from Dan Allan, our senior pastor, “If you have a small god you’ve got BIG PROBLEMS; but, if you’ve got a BIG GOD, you’ve got small problems.”

We all need to be reminded of these things from time to time.
