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).
At some point in time each of us will be disappointed by someone we love and trust. Something we depend on will change and leave us struggling to cope. Someone will break the rules and our hearts at the same time. Even those we love and trust the most are human and will, at some time, act against our best good. That will never happen with God.
God is the one upon whom we can always depend, always trust and always, always acts for our best good. So, when the world has let us down, we have lost a loved one, our friends or family have cast us out or those upon whom we depend act undependably; there is One who is eternally faithful, trustworthy and who always puts us first. This One has created a garden for us and waits hopefully, lovingly and dependably there for us. His only desire for us is our best good, and this One will never waiver from that or leave us hurt and without hope. All we must do is turn to God and say, “Lord, I am here”.
Lord, I am here,
