Because when you know God is with you wherever you go, you can walk through any gate — Gate 23, security, Frankfurt International — with courage!
BUT GOD JUST SHOWED UP IN GERMANY TO PROVE IT!
The sisters Kelly was tracking my flight and immediately we landed in Frankfurt and got off the plane she called. She asked, what time is it there?
I said L you won’t believe it, but it’s your birthday!!! Month and day exactly!
It was all God’s way of saying, welcome to Germany my Nik, I am right here with you!
When once again this landed enormously too perfectly to be considered an ordinary coincidence! God’s Presence always with us, baby!
WATCH ME SUPERMAN!!! FAITH LEVEL: HIGH, BABY!
Your girl is feeling extra strong today. Why? Because I have a BIG God in my corner.
No matter the challenges. No matter the stress. NOTHING God and I can’t handle together.
Like Movement Leader put it this week: Even when my battery hits 1%, I’m rolling with a God whose battery is always at 100%.
My anchor verse today:
Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
Whisper from Senior Partner:
“Nik, when you feel at 1%, that’s when My 100% shines brightest. You’re not running on empty. You’re running on Me.”
This morning He confirmed it. Lovingly. Loudly.
For weeks, this verse has been following me everywhere:
Psalm 16:11 – “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
Exhibit A: My Husband
A few days ago I went to find my husband to pray. Unbelievably, he was, out the whole entire Bible… listening to Psalm 16. We held hands and let the whole chapter be our prayer. I pranced around our bedroom that morning! That was a DIRECT message from God to me and my hubby.
Whisper from Senior Partner: “Yes, Nik, that was Me with you and your hubby the other day. I love showing up in your living room, in your bedroom, in your ‘ordinary’. I’m never late to the appointment.”
Exhibit B: Jesus Calling
This morning I asked Movement Leader to pick a page from my Jesus Calling devotional. Out of 365 days, it landed on April 23. It reads like God Himself is speaking: “I WILL show you the path of Life; in My Presence IS fullness of joy; at My right hand there ARE pleasures forevermore.”
The day’s verse? Psalm 16:11, baby!!! NOBODY can tell me that lined up on its own.
Exhibit C: He Never Leaves
Yesterday I wrote about my son asking my brother Kevin why he ghosted me. God answered. Immediately.
Right after my prayer, YouTube played the next video. Out of billions. It chose one with 13 views from 2+ years ago: “You can lose everything and everyone, but you will never lose God.” By Ceri.
ALL. GOD. ORCHESTRATED.
Whisper from Senior Partner: “13 views to the world. 1 heart reached to Me. That’s a win. Don’t despise small beginnings, Nik. I use what the world calls ‘nothing’ to do everything.”
The verse Ceri shared in that video? Hebrews 12:2 – “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…”
Flip to April 23 Jesus Calling again: “KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON ME”
Two years apart. Same message. That’s the challenge: Keep fixing our eyes on God, no matter the storm or stress.
Whisper from Senior Partner: “If you keep your eyes on Me, I’ll handle the rest while you sleep. Worry sleeps. I don’t. Fall a million times. I’ll lift you a million and one.”
THE SIMPLE BREAKDOWN FROM META
Main Idea in 1 Sentence:
You’re stronger than you feel because God is in your corner 24/7, and He shows you He’s there if you’re listening.
The 5 Things Ms. Nikki Is Teaching Us:
1. Your Strength Comes From God, Not You
My battery is at 1%, but God’s battery is always at 100%. He doesn’t run out ENERGY, STRENGTH, RESOURCES, WISDOM AND FAVOR.
2. God Gets Your Attention With “Winks”
Psalm 16:11 kept showing up. Your husband was listening to it. Then Jesus Calling opened to April 23 with the same verse. When God wants to remind you He’s close, He repeats the message.
3. People May Leave. God Never Will.
Even in loneliness, you’re not alone. God stays.
4. What You Focus On Is Where You Go
Stare at the problem and you’ll feel stuck. Look to God and HIS STRENGTH and you’ll keep moving. It’s like driving in rain. If you stare at the puddle, you’ll swerve into it. If you look ahead, you’ll drive through.
5. Daily Time With God Isn’t Optional, It’s Essential
You charge your phone daily so it works. You need daily time with God so your spirit works. 5 minutes in the morning to pray, read, and listen. That’s your reset button.
Bottom Line For All Of Us:
1. You + God = Strength. Not because you’re perfect. Because He strengthens you.
2. Notice God’s winks. He speaks through repeated messages.
3. People may leave. God remains.
4. Keep your eyes on God, not just the problem.
5. Meet with God daily. It’s your reset button.
APPOINTMENTS WITH GOD ARE MANDATORY
Please don’t snooze on your alone time with God. WAKE UP EARLY EVERY DAY AND SEEK HIS FACE. THIS IS ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE.
Without Him, any little thing knocks us down and we stay down. With Him? We can fall a million times and get up a million and one.
I call myself the queen of falls. No shame. Because I have a God who lovingly helps me back up.
WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM WHO STRENGTHENS US
BE GREAT EVERY DAY… WE ROLL WITH GOD
META PRAYER
Father, Thank You for being the BIG God in our corner. When we feel weak, You are strong. When our battery is at 1%, Yours is always at 100%.
Thank You for the God winks. For Psalm 16:11 showing up again and again. For that Frankfurt birthday wink that said “Welcome to Germany, My Nik.” For reminding us through my husband, through Jesus Calling, through a 13-view video: You are here. You never leave.
Teach us to keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
Make our daily appointment with You non-negotiable. Wake us early. Give us ears to hear.
Because with You, we can fall a million times and get up a million and one.
We can do all things through You who strengthens us.
