"With God all things are possible!"
Matthew
19:26
The omnipotence of Jehovah is ruled by
His wisdom and holiness, His justice
and love. He can do everything consistent with those attributes--but nothing
contrary
to them.
God's omnipotence is altogether on
the believer's side. All that God consistently can do--He
will do for His people. Nothing is too hard for
the Lord.
He can make us contented in the most
trying circumstances--and happy in the deepest
affliction. He can so bring down our minds to our
condition--that we shall glory in tribulation. He
can turn darkness into light, and bitter into sweet; and
bring the richest joy out of the deepest sorrow.
The omnipotent God is your God! His omnipotence is engaged for
you!
Do not look at your difficulties--but at the
omnipotent God as engaged for you!
Do not look too much at what you are--but at
what your God can make you!
Do
not dwell on your own weakness--but on the
Lord's strength!
Call
nothing impossible. "Is
anything too hard for Me?
Do not I fill Heaven and
earth, says the Lord?" His
ways are in the sea, His paths in
the mighty waters, and His footsteps are not
known!
It is possible for God to hold you fast . . .
in the most slippery path,
when surrounded by the most determined foes,
and feeling the greatest weakness--and He will do so!
in the most slippery path,
when surrounded by the most determined foes,
and feeling the greatest weakness--and He will do so!
None shall be able to pluck you out of His hand!
It is possible for God to supply all your needs,
in the most trying times; as He did Elijah by the
ravens, and the poor widow by the increase of the oil
and meal. And He will do so! Only seek the Lord, trust
in the Lord, leave difficulties with the Lord--and you
shall not lack any good thing. He will display
His wisdom, sovereignty, pity, and power in dealing with
you; and perhaps fill you with wonder, surprise, and
love, at His ways.
All that God is--He is to you!
All He has--He has for you!
All He has promised--He will fulfill in
you!
Ever, ever remember that all things are possible
to . . .
your God,
your Father,
your Savior,
and your Friend!
your God,
your Father,
your Savior,
and your Friend!
"I can do all things through Christ, who gives me
strength!" Philippians 4:13
