Nothing My God Cannot Do

We live by faith, not by sight.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:7

How misleading our perspective is for the things God calls us to do. We see problems. He sees possibilities. We see difficulty. He sees destiny.

There is no promise too hard for God to fulfill. When our consultants told Nick and me that A21, our campaign to rescue victims of human trafficking, would never work in Eastern Europe, that it needed much more than a wing and a prayer to fly, we took only part of their advice.

The prayer part.

Now we have offices all over the world. A21 works to raise awareness of human trafficking, establish prevention programs in schools and orphanages, represent victims as legal advocates, give them refuge in safe houses, and then restoration in transition homes.

God didn’t remove all the difficulties from our path. Difficulty is part of this world. But God is bigger than any difficulty. He sees above and beyond any obstacle. He leads us a step at a time over the mountains into the valleys he wants us to possess because no prayer is too big for him to answer, no problem too large for him to solve. There is no disease he cannot heal or heart he cannot mend. There is no bondage God cannot break, need he cannot meet, enemy he cannot defeat, or mountain he cannot move.

There is nothing our God cannot do.

MOMENT OF REFLECTION

How big is the God you serve?

Is he big enough to help you do what he’s called you to do?
