God Is...

Jeremiah 32:17 NLT - "O Sovereign LORD! You have made the heavens and earth by your great power. Nothing is too hard for you!

Think of the most difficult situation before you right now. Think about the thing that is controlling your thoughts all day long and causing you to not sleep at night. Whatever it is – it is not too difficult for God to handle. If you don't believe that the Bible is God's inspired word – then this scripture will have little effect on you. If you believe that the Bible is God breathed – then you will receive much from what is said in this passage. There are two immutable truths here – 1- God is sovereign – I'm not. In other words – He is God and He controls the universe (that He made) and has all control over everything. I on the other hand can barely control my own life 2- There is absolutely nothing that is too hard for Him. He is all powerful. He can, with just a word, speak things into being and change the course of history. He can do anything He wants. He is an all powerful God. So, you might ask, how does that affect me? Well... for starters – you can learn the valuable lesson of turning your life over to Him fully. Make Him Lord of your life. Give Him your heart, soul and mind. Trust Him with the details – big and small. But you can also do something else – you can come to Him in prayer. He longs to hear your voice. He longs for you to come to Him like a child would come to their Father. He so wants to hear His children's voices and he so longs to be in relationship with each of us. I am blessed today. I know that God loves and cares for me. I know that He is Sovereign and in charge. With boldness I can also say... O Sovereign LORD! You have made the heavens and earth by your great power. Nothing is too hard for you!
