The Bible tells us that God can heal us, that He can deliver us from our destructions, that He lifts up the weak, that He leads and guides us. But just how much can God do? Well, God can do almost anything. That may sound strange to those who have been taught that with God all things are possible. But there are some things that God cannot do, and it is fortunate for us that this is true.
God is a God of love and rules by principle, and because this is so, He cannot change His nature. He cannot break divine law. He cannot bring disease, or suffering, or lack.
He is always the loving Father, ready to hear and answer prayer.
How much can God do? He can bring heaven here and now – not by breaking the law, which is impossible to God – but by fulfilling it.
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law (Psalm 119:18).
As this writer and his son hiked the Appalachian wilderness last week, our eyes were opened to see how much God can do. In the most literal sense God delivered us from our destructions, lifted us up when we were we weak, led and guided us when we lost our way, And in the process, God brought us heaven here and now. God opened our eyes, hearts, souls and minds to to behold many wondrous things in the garden created for us. And upon homecoming, reacquainted us with the beautiful garden to which we returned enlightened, encouraged and emboldened.
God can,
Stan
