Every time I start thinking to myself, “God can’t,” I get reminded God did. If God so willingly gave his son in our place – then what is there that God won’t do? Sometimes I find myself putting limits on God. My limits. In doing so, I make God small; and make him (by default) something that takes a smaller part of my life.
I have seen God do huge things in and around my life. I have. I was reminded of a huge miracle by a patient in the hospital yesterday that I had the privilege of visiting and sharing with. Yet there are times…when I tend to put limits on God; times that God seems quiet. Only to discover, to my chagrin, that it is I that has been quiet; God has been there all along doing what he does best; saving, loving, guiding.
I don’t know what obstacles lay in your way of climbing a (figurative) mountain today. But if you think that God isn’t with you on your climb…you're going to not reach the peak; or worse yet, you might climb the wrong mountain. If you are feeling alone – are again consider Paul’s words. If God was willing to send Jesus to the cross – for you…for me; don’t think for a minute that he’s not willing to walk with you up that mountain.
“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” All things. For sure.
God bless you,
Pastor Chris
