BELIEVING GOD
“Is anything too hard for God?” God asked Abraham this when He appeared to him and his wife Sarah and told them that Sarah would have the child they had yearned for all their lives.
Sarah had laughed at the idea that she would actually bear a child at the age of 90. But she did!
Why do we tend to limit God, even though we may be familiar with His mighty works? Even the virgin Mary, chosen vessel of God, could not understand how she could be the mother of a child without “knowing” a man. An angel told her the Holy Spirit would come upon her and His power would overshadow her.
“Therefore,” he continued, “that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God,” Then he told Mary that her cousin, Elizabeth, who was way past the age of child-bearing, was also going to have a son. He concluded by saying, “For with God nothing will be impossible” (Luke 1:37).
Do you believe that? Well, read Psalm 145 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20145;&version=31; ), letting its blessed truths sink into your heart and mind. Think about them, savor them, and then follow the psalmist’s example of praise.
I love the book of Ephesians. Listen to this: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations” (Eph. 3:20-21). Does that not fill your heart with faith when you realize how all-powerful our Lord is?
Paul, inspired of God, said to the Ephesian believers, “May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.”
Father God,
Thank you that with You, nothing is impossible. Help me this Christmas to put my trust in You in fresh and courageous ways. Increase my faith Lord. I ask in the powerful name of Jesus, amen.
Questions: Are you believing God today or are you limiting God in your life today? Do you truly know and have faith that God is who He said He is and He will do as He has promised? Ask God to increase your faith today.
Nothing truly is impossible for him and I am so encouraged by this devotion today! Its like HE knew that this is what I needed to see today!
On a side note I went to lifetime this morning before work!
I have only once in my life gotten up to work out before work and am hoping to keep this up every other day! It really does make a difference in your day! Even if you get out of bed at 5am!
