God of Impossible Things

Bible Reading: Psalm 147:3-11
Focus Verse: "But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” ~ Matthew 19:26 ESV

This is a good day to reflect on God and the things he has done for you.  So often, we rush into our day with our things to do.  We need to stop and realize what we have in our God.  See what the scriptures say: God is GREAT and MIGHTY in power.  His understanding has no limit.  He covered the sky with clouds, made and named all the stars, supplies the earth with rain and causes the grass to grow.  He feeds the cattle and young ravens.  He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounded heart.  The Lord delights in those who fear him and who put their hope in His unfailing love.

There are so many man-made distractions to the greatness of God.  I know that I take the blessings of God for granted many times.  I have even looked with desire at material things when I should be satisfied with what God has already given me.  We need to recognize the greatness of God in our lives.

How do we respond to this greatness of God? Verse seven says that we should sing to the Lord with thanksgiving and make music on the harp.  Well, I don’t have a harp, but I can play songs of thanks and praise God along with the music.  Spend some time reading the verses again and thanking God for his greatness in your life.  Maybe you’d like to read some scripture to your family as you gather around the table.  When you realize that God does the impossible things, you can be more encouraged in your life because God is for us.
