The Daily Nugget- God Makes All Things Possible
Hi All
In the Bible there are many examples of when the “impossible” was made “possible” through God's intervention for example in Exodus God parted the Red Sea to allow the exiles to escape the clutches of the Egyptians when all seemed lost(Exodus 14). As believers we are encouraged to trust God in all situations because His power is limitless and can turn trials into victories and despair into joy and in Matthew 19:26 Jesus tells His disciples"With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible", in other words we as humans are incapable of achieving salvation or anything good on our own and its only Gods divine power which make all things possible.Next time a trial comes along remember that no matter how big the problem is we have a God who is bigger.
Be Blessed and Encouraged
God Makes All Things Possible
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided. 22 The sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
(Exodus 14:21-22)
The waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
(Joshua 3:16)
If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
(Joshua 24:15)
When Moses led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt, only one thing stood between them and freedom: the Red Sea. But God removed that barrier with the greatest miracle in Israel’s history,the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14).
After Moses' death God commissioned Joshua to lead the people into the promised land(Joshua 1:1-9). When they were about to move into the promised land they were faced with the river Jordan which was overflowing its banks during the spring harvest season,because of melting mountain snow.The people then had a choice to make.Would they remember the Red Sea miracle and trust God to give them safe passage through the barrier? Or would they let their fears take over, after forty years in the wilderness dreaming of their homeland ? They chose to believe and faithfully God came to the rescue again by stopping the waters of the Jordan River so the people could cross over(Joshua 3).
This message is a great encouragement to us all, that we should never doubt God, because what He has done for us before He will do again. Next time you are in a situation that seems impossible, think back to what God has brought you through in the past. Whatever “Red Sea” or “Jordan River” you may be facing today, put your trust in God. Just as He guided the Israelites out of Egypt, He will also take us through our trials. He truly is “The God Of The Possible”. Amen !
