As I have aged, I’ve discovered some things are getting harder to do and I need to find alternatives. For example, lids on jars are now opened with a tool rather than hand strength. Small print needs a magnifying glass. Ripping open packaging requires a scissor. Threading a needle requires a needle threader and a magnifying glass.
I’ve also discovered that somethings aren’t even possible to do anymore. I’ve lost my ability to jump. Now at 72 jumping may not be something I do on a regular basis, but I would so love to jump during song service when we sing the “Days of Elijah” and get to the part that says, “There’s no god like JEHOVAH!”
So, I’ve learned to compensate by finding alternatives for the “harder” things, and I’m waiting until I get that glorified body to “jump” when the heavenly choirs start singing “There’s no god like JEHOVAH!”
Fortunately, our God has no such limitations. Nothing is too difficult or impossible for Him. “Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” [Jeremiah 32:17]
We can look at the mess our world is in and bemoan that evil seems all-powerful and nothing can be done to stem the tide. Or, we can look at our Sovereign LORD, the Almighty One, and begin to intercede in power for righteousness and truth. Nothing is too hard for our God.
Maybe the reason so many people underestimate our SAVIOR and LORD, is because the church hasn’t done much lately to display His Almighty power. It’s time for a change!
