“… for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’” (2 Kings 4:43b)
Read 2 Kings 4:42–44.
What is God calling you to do that seems too big, too hard or simply impossible? Many things seem impossible to us, yet nothing is impossible for God.
There was once a man who was asked to build a big boat, kilometers from the nearest ocean or, for that matter, any sort of body of water big enough to float it. Yet he obeyed, and it happened just as God had said it would. This man, of course, was Noah.
There was a man who saw a bush that was burning, yet it didn’t burn up, and so he sat there and had a chat with God. Even though this man said, “Maybe, God, you’ve got the wrong guy to do what you would like me to do”, it happened just as God said it would. This man was Moses, and he led the people out of Egypt through the Red Sea.
We may not part the Red Sea or build a boat in a dry place, but we are called to trust in God’s provision, purpose and word, knowing that all things are possible for Him.
When it comes to heaven and eternal life, you or I could not find a way there, nor could we make ourselves right in God’s sight to earn a place in heaven. We can’t save ourselves from our hopelessness in our sinful ways.
It was God who gave us a way, and that way is Jesus Christ. God sent His only Son, Jesus, to suffer and die on the cross so that we might have eternal life and be forgiven and saved from sin, death and the power of the devil.
We are free to follow Jesus as God’s children and to trust that God can do all things, knowing that He does what He says He will do. If God calls you to a seemingly impossible task, He will give you what you need to follow Him.
Life Journey Key words: Faith, trust, hope, love, obedience, mercy, grace, forgiveness, and compassion! These are a new daily conversation to look at God, into me, forming me, and then looking into the world through His Word of life through the actions of Jesus.
Prayer
Lord, You are amazing, always doing more and giving more than I can ever imagine. I thank You for all You do and for who You are in my life. Help me see day by day the blessings You have given me. Amen.
Pray, praise, give thanks, and stay encouraged!
