Positioning Yourself in God's Greatness
"God is big enough to take care of your smallest need." You may have lost your hope and think that there is no one who understands your situation. God understands. Ephesians 5:15-16 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

· How are you looking at life? Do you see the greatness of God in the midst of it all? Open your heart to the great God who is with you and can take care of your smallest need. May these practical steps help unlock the treasure chest of God inside of you. Apply these tools wholeheartedly and with all diligence in your life:
Philippians 4:6-7New International Version (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
God our Father is the One who has blessed us through the year of 2016. He is the One who will be with us in the year before us—2017. “Every good thing given and every perfect gift” given during the past year has come “from above, coming down from the Father of lights” (James 1:17). The psalmist says it well: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits” (Psalm 103:1-2).
Although each of us has faced sorrow and perhaps even tremendous tragedy during the year behind us, still we can remember God’s blessings and benefits that come to us in abundance. We can also depend on the Lord God to be the same gracious and faithful God He has always been.
As we arrive at the beginning of another year, let us be grateful to God for new opportunities and amazing blessings. We have the opportunity .
