You can handle a snowball coming at you. It's just that when you put many of those snowballs together and try to deal with them all at once, you're going to be trying to deal with an avalanche. That's not how God made you. He gives us strength for one day at a time. I know that from Deuteronomy 33:25. It says, "He will give you strength equal to your day." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/drowning-out-the-disturbing-music-6755 2012-12-03T09:40:57-05:00 God says in essence, "You can't stop the world from playing its alluring attractions for your children, but you can play the music of Jesus louder." How do you do that? Impress His teachings on your children. It doesn't just say tell them or teach them. It says to impress them. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/jewish-sandals-6666 2012-08-06T14:31:18-05:00 Look around you. I'll bet somewhere God is meeting your need through a miracle of manna right now; just a miraculous, out-of-nowhere provision. But I'll bet somewhere you've got the modern equivalent of those Jewish sandals. Either way, every need is supplied. You're living hand-to-mouth; His hand to your mouth. Wow! Are you secure! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/freeing-the-slaves-6665 2012-08-06T14:29:47-05:00 You know, in our world today we are like all accelerator and no brakes. We're living lives without Sabbaths. They're supposed to be part of the created order of God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/custom-tailoring-for-the-fit-you-need-6623 2012-05-30T11:27:07-05:00 God gives grace customized for every experience that He sends or He allows in your life. There is dying grace; you say, "I don't know how I would ever handle dying." Well, of course, you're not doing it now; you don't need it now. But haven't you seen people with dying grace? You get it when you need it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/seldom-a-lot-but-always-enough-6593 2012-04-23T09:58:44-05:00 Take your assignment from God in 24-hour chunks. Count on enough grace for each day. My kids knew that their Father would see that they had what they needed that day. God's kids know their Father is much better than that. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-dark-crossroads-6588 2012-04-11T12:17:12-05:00 The song is so right, "Jesus loves me." And the one Whitney sang as a girl, "Just a little talk with Jesus makes it right." Especially if that talk is to tell Him, "Jesus, I need Your love; that love You showed when You poured out Your life for my sin on that cross. So Jesus, I'm Yours...all Yours." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/so-much-hurt-6571 2012-03-20T09:49:35-05:00 When our son was three years old, we visited the U.S. Capitol in Washington. I remember him looking up that massive flight of steps and thinking, "Man, there's no way." Well, he made it to the top, because his Daddy carried him where he couldn't go. See, when you can't walk, your Father will carry you. I really can do "all things through Christ who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13), because Jesus really is enough. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/how-to-handle-a-heavy-load-6563 2012-03-09T13:52:52-05:00 Don't try to borrow tomorrow's trouble. You don't have the strength yet. You go thinking about that and worrying about that, and you'll run ahead of your supply lines. But you'll have everything you need when that day comes. So live as God designed you to live. Cope as He's equipped you to cope - in 24-hour slices of life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/faucet-fascination-6449 2011-09-29T11:13:16-05:00 Step up to a wonderful new security, one that can peacefully accept the loss of any "faucet" in your life. Because it was only a means that God came through.
