“With
God all things are possible”
Upon reading my title for this article I can already hear
someone cry out, “Blasphemy!” They would argue the very scripture I use proves
their charge. But since we’re told the Holy Ghost teaches by comparison, let us
do just that. The writer of Hebrews tells us it is “impossible for God to lie.”
Isn’t it wonderful our God is limited in this area? That there
is something in the life of God even He cannot do. Magnificent I say, because
it is impossible for God to break His Word! Moses puts it this way, “God [is] not a man, that he should lie...hath
he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it
good?”
But David tells us of a second limitation of God. His hands are
tied by our lack of faith. Speaking of God’s people, he writes, “They...limited the Holy One of Israel.” It seems unbelief binds God that He
cannot work on His peoples’ behalf, as He would. We are told when Jesus came to
His hometown, “He could there do no
mighty work...because of their unbelief.”
Therefore, a limited faith can limit a limitless God! “Lord,
increase our faith.”
