Today's Scripture
“Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to
you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
Genesis 18:14
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Have you ever heard someone make a promise that seemed unrealistic?
Maybe you even laughed to yourself when you heard it. God likes to
make promises that seem like they would be impossible to keep, at
least, from our human point of view, but God keeps ALL His promises,
not some but ALL because He is GOD and doesn't lie.
Do you know what 89 year old Sarah did when she overheard God saying
that she would be a mother? She laughed to herself. A er I am worn out
and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure? Sarah didn t
believe it. She doubted it. She didn t think that God could do something
like that. And you know what? There s a little bit of Sarah inside us all.
Even though Sarah doubted Him, a year later, at the age of 90, she had a
baby. But that s how God works. He loves to come to His people, people
like you and make promises to you that seem way beyond any
possibility of happening. And then, as you struggle with your doubts,
He loves to forgive you and strengthen you as you look for God to keep
His promises. God is the same God who blessed Abraham and Sarah.
Stop asking questions, stop raising doubts, and simply BELIEVE. What
do we call that, when you believe Gods impossible promises? We call
that FAITH. Faith is believing that nothing is too hard for the Lord.
Absolutely there is nothing too hard for God! Look past your
circumstances today and look to God. The one who promised is faithful,
and He will bring it to pass!
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for
Your faithfulness to me.
I know that You will
bring to pass every
promise You ve made. I
repent for trying things
in my own strength and
choose to trust wholly in
You in Jesus name.
Amen.!
