KNOW(N) Ministries

As I sit here trying to think of what to write, the only words I can begin to utter are, “God is so good.”

Life is such a precious gift from The Father, but we never know when He will decide to call us home. I know this is such a cliche, but we truly do not know what tomorrow holds. Not knowing if any of us will take another breathe, tell your loved ones you love them, do everything to the glory of God, and live with abandon.

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”           -Isaiah 54:17

I have always heard my mom pray, “May no weapons form against Brad(my dad), Kristen, or myself prosper, in the name of Jesus I pray.” Until Wednesday morning at 8:06, I did not fully comprehend what that meant.

I am not writing this for pity or to draw attention to myself, but to give God all of the glory, because He alone deserves it! For those of you who do not know, I was involved in a car accident on Wednesday morning pulling into school and completely totaled my car, but I walked away from it. By God’s grace alone, myself and the other gentleman walked away with only a few bruises. I cannot even begin to describe the flood of emotions that came upon me at that time, but the main thing that continued to echo in my mind and heart was, “God is so good. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.”

I am not sure why God decided to allow me to walk away from a totaled car with only one scratch and a few bruises. I am not sure why God allowed me to stay on this earth. I am not sure why this accident even happened, but I do know a few things. I know that God is sovereign. I know that God is good. I know that no weapon was prospered against me. I know that God is not finished with me. I know that God had His mighty hand over me. I know that God is faithful. Did I mention God is good?

I have a few guesses as to why I think this situation happened, but all I know is that God deserves complete glory and the story of what God did for me needs to be told. What the devil meant for harm, God meant for good! So I am here, in one whole, healthy piece to tell you that God is real. God is good. God is sovereign. God has a plan for your life. Jesus died for you to forgive you of your sins, so you could have a relationship with Him, and spend eternity with Him in glory. Accept this invitation of salvation, you will NOT regret it!

If it were not for my sweet Jesus, I know there is no way I would have walked away. Logically, I should not have been able to walk away from this, BUT MY GOD IS BIGGER! Take that one Satan! In the scariest moment of my life, I knew my Savior was right there with me in the midst of my fear and tears holding my hand. I am so thankful the Lord is allowing me to finish the race He has set before me. To live is Christ. I am so overwhelmed by the mercy of Jesus and the outpouring of love, support, and prayers I have received. Please join me in praising my Jesus for His faithfulness. He is so so good.
