Today's encouragement comes from Genesis 18:14a, where we read these words:
"Is anything too hard for the LORD? . . . "This question (above) is to be answered in the negative. This does not mean that God *will* do anything we ask Him to do; but it *does* mean He *can* do anything that He is pleased to do (that would be consistent with His perfect nature, and is for His church's good). There *are* things that even God can-not do (that we can do), like sin. But this does not detract from His greatness, but rather only enhances it.
Are we facing some impossible situation today? Let us lay it before God. He is able to deliver us in Christ. If we are faithful churched Christians, the prom-ises in the written Word of God are ours to enjoy; they are all “yes," and “amen,” in Jesus, (cf. 2 Cor. 1:20).
[Puritan quote of the day: "Before we can know this love of Christ . . . we must necessarily know the nature of sin.” —John Bunyan, in, "All Loves Ex-celling"]
