WITH
GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
God
Who is the maker and possessor of heaven and earth. He is the One who created
us out of dust of the ground. Is it hard to believe that nothing is impossible
with Him?
I
believe there is a problem within the body of Christ with our thinking. We
relate to God as if He is one of us. We have bought God down to our level.
Where is the reverence for God? Where is the awe,
majesty, and the honor which He deserves? Just because we feel puny we relate
to God as if He is puny.
He
was before everything and will be here after everything is gone. He has no end!
His power and might are unlimited! He can do what He wills and nothing and no
one can stop Him.
Our
petty problems are nothing to Him. To us they are huge insurmountable things
and because we look at most things that way we begin to say God wouldn't do
this or that. We look at God through our eyes instead of through the eyes of
the Bible.
God
says in Hebrews 4:12 that His Word is active, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword. God says that His Word will accomplish all that He purposed it to
accomplish. He even says that everything will pass away but that His Word will
last forever!
The
reverence for the Almighty has been lost. We hold up men who have been created
by Him as idols. They are worshipped for their little anointing and gifts and
the Anointed One the Gift Giver is touted as second best. Have we lost our
minds?
We
definitely have lost our way. We have stepped off the narrow path. We must
return to God with forgiveness in our hearts. We must bow down to God and ask
Him to forgive us for our stupidity.
Where
is our longing? Where is our hunger for God? Where is the honor and praise due
Him? We praise and honor flesh more than the One who clothed us in flesh.
Because we cannot see him we act as if He is not there.
Yet,
He is here! Right now! God watches our every move. He sees all and knows all.
He is our Father and He watches over His children. We are blessed that He cares
for us so much. Us, dust of the ground! He loves us so much with a love we
cannot comprehend. And He says He will never leave us nor forsake us. Oh what a
God we serve!
God
says His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. As high
as the heavens are above the earth that is how high His thoughts are compared
to ours. Contemplate on that a moment! That is like comparing our thoughts to
that of a snail. We take God for granted Who is the
Grantor of everything.
We
must get back our reverence, our awe, and our wonder of Him. He is worthy of
our most fervent praise! We must put Him back on the throne and give God all
the pomp, honor, majesty, adoration, love, and allure He deserves.
We
could go our whole lives learning about God and still never really scratch the
surface of Who He is. It will take all eternity to learn all there is to know
about Him. Think on that!
Our
God is amazing! We get puffed up because we have a few degrees under our belt
and we begin to think we're so intelligent. But don't forget what the Lord said
in Romans 1:22 "Professing themselves to be wise
they became fools." You could take all the people born from the beginning
of time to the end of the world and all their knowledge could be place on a pin
head compared to the knowledge of our Almighty God.
Wake
up body of Christ! Nothing is impossible with our God. Men fail God never
fails. Men lie God never lies. Man's power is limited God's power is unlimited.
We must keep our eyes on Him Who is above all Who is
all in all. Then through Him where nothing is impossible we will begin to do
things we thought not possible.
