Day 17: To Infinity and Beyond

 GOD'S plans and purposes for your

LIFE are BEYOND this world.

BEYOND what you SEE,

BEYOND your CIRCUMSTANCES,

BEYOND your FEELINGS.

So what is BEYOND?

Well, ask Buzz Lightyear from the movie "Toy Story",

as his mission was to LIVE BEYOND

as he chanted his word's,

"TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!"

Now if INFINITY is ENDLESS,

 how can you LIVE BEYOND INFINITY?

BY FAITH.

For FAITH is

LIVING BEYOND 

what you

do SEE,

what you do FEEL,

and

what you don't UNDERSTAND,

by

BELIEVING GOD

who takes you

BEYOND

to what

HE SEES,

to what

HE FEELS,

and

to what

HE UNDERSTANDS.

Because GOD IS INFINITE,

and HE  covers ALL.

GOD IS

'ALL' KNOWING,

'OMNI'SCIENT~

“For MY thoughts are not your thoughts,Nor are your ways MY ways,” declares the LORD"

(Isaiah 55:8-9).

GOD IS 'ALL' POWERFUL,

'OMNI'POTENT~

“Who then can be saved?”

JESUS looked at them and said,

 “With man this is impossible, but with GOD all things are possible”

(Matthew 19:25-26).

GOD IS 'ALLways' PRESENT,

'OMNI'PRESENT~

"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a SON, and they shall call HIS name IMMANUEL, which means, GOD IS WITH US"

(Matthew 1:23).

So what does OMNI mean~

ALL!

And what does ALL cover~

ALL!

And who is ALL~

GOD,

 who takes ALL who BELIEVE

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND.

  "Now to HIM who is able to [carry out HIS purpose and]

do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think

 [INFINITELY BEYOND our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams],

according to HIS power that is at work within us"

(Ephesians 3:20).

GOD'S ALL IS JESUS,

 who gave

 HIS ALL on the cross,

so that we ALL can

LIVE TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

in the HERE AND NOW.

So let's be a Buzz Lightyear

and

LIVE BEYOND

whatever is or isn't happening

in our lives at this moment

by

FIXING our EYES on our

 INFINITY AND BEYOND~

"Therefore, _____________, (put your name)

 do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid].

 Though your outer self, ________________,

 is [progressively] wasting away,

 yet your inner self, ___________, is being [progressively] renewed day by day.

 For your momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for you, _____________,

 an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!

 So, _________________, look not at the things which are seen,

 but at the things which are unseen;

 for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting],

 but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable"*

(2 Corinthians 4:16-18, "put your name version").

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

because you were

 "MADE FOR MORE"
