Be Still.... And Handle It - part 3

In the last two posts, we looked at some storms in the New Testament and how Jesus handled both storms in different ways. This week we are going to get encouragement from a different source. I didn't write the words below, they are from Pastor Steven Furtick. I hope they encourage you when you are overwhelmed by the storms of life. There is also a video version if you would prefer that instead.

by Steven Furtick [1]

So I don't dread any challenge that lies ahead

Because I remember all the victories behind.

And my confidence is not in my circumstance.

The Spirit of God is my supply.

I'm steady under pressure and I'm ready for whatever

Cause whatever comes my way today, the outcome is "I overcome".

Christ is in me, I am enough.

I can handle it.

I can't afford to stay afraid or let me faith hesitate.

My purpose is at stake and He who called me is faithful.

His strength in me is greater than any pain I feel or enemy I face.

The promise of God is mine for the taking.

Every plan He has made is guaranteed to come to pass.

It will happen.

If I don't back down, if I won't let go

It will happen.

If I don't stop short, if I won't sell out

It will happen by faith.

But faith doesn't take the fear away

It teaches me to fight it.

So bring the battle, I'm ready now.

I got something for Goliath.

I can handle it.

My power flows from Presence so I won't stay stuck in what was or worry about what will be

My regrets have been redeemed

And my tests have become my lessons

My focus is fixed and my heart is expectant

I'm set, I'm not nervous about what's next.

Cause my eyes are on the throne

I trust the One who's in complete control

The One who already knows how He's gonna to work it according to His purpose.

Even the worst situations are sure to turn in my favor

If I keep moving forward, keep moving toward Him.

God is with me in this moment

And whatever happens, I can handle it.

I know my help comes from above,

So if fear insists on knocking, I'll meet it at the door.

Life might give me bad news but I've still got a good report- I can handle it.

If I fall, if I fail, I'll handle it.

Grace will give me what it takes to carry on.

I can handle it.

I have humbled myself under the mighty hand of God.

Christ is in me, I am enough

And when the time is right, He'll lift me up.

Until then, the lion may roar but I see his leash.

So I'll keep moving forward cause I've been down before

But my hope knows how to bounce back from rock bottom.

What I need, God's got it!

And I'm stronger, I'm better,

It's settled, I'm ready.

I'm focused, I'm hopeful,

No hiding, I'm ready.

I'm stronger, I'm better,

It's settled, I'm ready.

I'm focused, I'm hopeful,

No hiding, I'm ready.

I'm stronger, I'm better,

It's settled, I'm ready.

Resilient, dependent,

I know He'll deliver.

I'm strong and courageous.

The One who is able

is greater than all.

Bring it on!

In His name,

I can handle it.
