The notion that God can do anything is, in itself, amazing. Since the Fall of Man, man has been at odds against God by default. We are, as Romans 3:23 states, "sinners." We have all sinned. God is doing all He can to redeem us back. Having sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins, and not just for our sins, but for the whole world, He daily is doing miracles as men come back into communion with Him. When we read statements like "Nothing is Too Hard for God" and "Nothing is Impossible with God"….we want to believe that is true, but our fallen nature gets in the way. We argue with God. What about the times I asked Him for miracles and received nothing? What about the times I prayed and prayed and prayed, yet still God did not answer? Fair enough questions. James 4:3 suggests one answer might be that we ask from wrong motives. This is understandable considering our faulted sinful stance. It seems from Scripture that God doesn't do everything we ask and He has some kind of Divine standard for answering our prayers that is a mystery to our feeble minds. Those questions, however, should not prevent us from continuing to ask. Consider all the places that God Himself encourages us with the idea that He can do anything AND our prayers make a difference. Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 1:37; Luke 18:27; Matthew 6:30; Matthew 8:10; Matthew 8:26; Matthew 9:2; Matthew 9:22; Matthew 9:29; Matthew 13:58; Matthew 14:31; Matthew 15:28; Matthew 16:8 Oscar Eliason wrote a great song. The words are powerful. Got any Rivers? You think are uncrossable Got any Mountains? You can't tunnel through God specializes, in things thought impossible And He can do what no other power can do Let's expect God to do what He says He can do!
