What can God do
Sunday March 1st,
Genesis 17: When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord came to
him and said, "I am God All-powerful. Obey Me, and be without blame. 2 And
I will keep My agreement between Me and you. I will give you many
children." 3 Then Abram fell on his face. Did he fall on his face because of
the joy that the promise would finally be true or did he fall on his face
because of the fear that the promise would finally be true? I must say that I
do hope and pray that the Lord does not visit me when I am 99 and tell me I
will be a new father. At many years younger than that my wife and I may joke
about it, but believe me, IT IS A JOKE, OK God!!!! But that is that old control
thing going on within me again. God made the promise and was true to that
promise. The wait for Abe and Sarah was to show that it was God who was doing
this great thing. What we can take from this is to trust in God. Trust in Gods
always, even when it seems impossible, or laughable, or frightenly
laughable. What can God do through you
once you let go of the hands of control?
Trust! Pray! Laugh!
