Great is Our God!


Behold, I am theJehovah, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me? Jeremiah 32:27

Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17

My greatest obstacles in life always resulted from resisting God’s attempt to solve my problems. As an immature Christian, typically, I would do what non-believers do when faced with difficulties: I would first worry about it, then I would discuss it with people I trust, followed by my obsession about the many ways to work it out myself and finally I would turn it over to God, but only after trying and failing multiple times to the point that there is no other alternative then giving up. I trusted God to help me only when I got desperate. What a fool I was! I got in a lot of trouble and experienced multiple unnecessary heart breaks. Listen, a wise Christian knows to turn to God at first sign of trouble. Surely I have seen how magnificently God moved in my life and I knew learned that nothing was impossible to Him, but still I continue to worry until I realized that if I was going to get my prayers answered, I would need to change attitude. Fear come from unbelief and faith is what move the hand of God. I decided to put my pride aside and trusted God. I now know for certain that there is no obstacle too great, no wall too thick to get through when God is in charge of the situation.

Friend, have faith in God. Faith is not denial. Faith is based on knowledge of the written Word of God that cannot fail or return void. Living by faith is active belief and trust in God and His Word. Faith enables us to repent and accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (public/humiliating death on Calvary) as payment for our sins. Trust in Christ increases with experience. The more we see that God is dependable and of great mercy, the stronger our faith in him becomes and that is why it is so important to attend a Bible believing church, and be among people who trust God. It is okay to leave a church you attended all your life and your parents were founding members if it’s not helping you faith-walk. You know if you not growing as a Christian. You would know in your heart if you need a new church. Your spiritual growth has a lot to do with your environment. You need to surround yourself with Bible believing people. It is okay to change. Don’t let a sense loyalty keeps you from being the kind of Christian God call you to be and the kind of believer you ought to be. Let God lead you in ending all improper relationships, stop following those who will leave you behind and embrace God’s truth. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). All power is His. He is the living God. There is no limit to what God can do for you if you trust him. Nothing is impossible to The Almighty God. Don't be afraid of change. Stop doing the same all things without results. Let go and let God.

Dear friend, we serve a great God. He can do anything and everything. He is all things. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is Mighty. Trust Him and know a peace you never though possible.

Praise the Lord!
