God Can

God Can!

Romans 11:33 (NASB®)

Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

When I was a young boy, before my parents knew the Lord, my mother was healed of what the doctors said was terminal cancer. It was there, and a few days later, it simply wasn’t. That miracle was a gift for many people. My mom got to live a long and productive life. My dad wasn’t left to raise three boys alone. My brothers and I were able to grow up with our birth mother. And that miracle resulted in my parents’ salvation, which would have a ripple effect across continents and decades. We learned a lesson early on that God can _____ , and you can fill in that blank. God can heal a body. God can deliver a family. God can save the most hardened sinner. I don’t always understand the pathways He chooses or His timing, but I know that I see miracles around me on a regular basis. The God we serve is a remarkable God of grace, mercy, and compassion. I don’t have a more profound message for you today than this: God can.

THINK ABOUT IT

Create a list of times God has intervened in your life or in the lives of others. Then, make a second list of areas where you still need God’s intervention—it’s your “God Can” list.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, You are the One who makes a way where there seems to be no way. Thank You for being an Almighty God who is never discouraged, despondent, or distant. Through the blood of Jesus Christ, You have brought freedom, deliverance, and wholeness to our lives. Thank You for doing what only a Living God can do! In Jesus’ name, amen.
