Extraordinary

“How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all” Psalm 104:25

With all of our collective wisdom we still do not understand what makes a heart beat or unlocked the mysteries of the human mind. We look at God’s creation and gaze in wonder at how a mountain, let alone the delicate flower that resides on its slopes, were made.

In Wisdom, God Created

Throughout Psalm 104 David reminds us of the incredible works of God, and that in wisdom He made it all, including you and I. Indeed, we are His handiwork, each of us extraordinary in our own way, and designed for a purpose. Amazing to think that while you may be as delicate as a flower, God has given you the ability move mountains. For as Jesus said to us in Matthew 17, “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you can say to this mountain move, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you.”

Jesus said, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7

A water glass isn’t much good until you pour something in. We are not so different.

Something Wonderful Happens

Hope will replace fear. Love will replace anger. Courage will replace cowardice. For when Jesus says, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you”, He’s simply giving you life altering directions that lead to a remarkable promise: “Ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you”.

God said, “For I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:12

There are a myriad of scripture verses that point to overcoming the impossible, many of which have been pointed out in these posts over the past few years. Faith on our part enters when we read Jesus words in Matthew 19:26, where He says,

“With God All Things Are Possible”

This statement from Jesus is further amplified when we let today’s quote from Jeremiah 1:12 sink in to our minds. For God Himself says, “I am active and alert, watching over My word to perform it.” In other words, God means what he says. If He said it, if He promised it, He will be faithful to complete it!
