“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13
Today, I want to talk about a remarkable concept that might seem paradoxical at first: the only thing God can’t do is nothing. This simple yet profound truth illuminates our Creator’s boundless power and unceasing activity. In Scripture, we find countless testimonies of His magnificent deeds. Take, for example, Isaiah 43:19, which says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Here, we see God’s promise to actively intervene and create paths where none existed before.
Consider this analogy: Just as a river carves its way through even the most resistant rock formations over time to create valleys and canyons, so too does God work in our lives. He continuously shapes us, removes barriers, and forges paths toward our salvation and growth. The idea that God can do everything except for ‘nothing’ reassures us that when we feel stuck or trapped by circumstances, God is still at work—carving out channels of grace in seemingly impenetrable areas of our lives.
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now, all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
I’m reminded of the story of Moses parting the Red Sea—a defining moment when hope seemed lost against insurmountable obstacles. Yet, Exodus 14:21 tells us how Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and God drove the sea back with a strong east wind all night. This miraculous event serves as an enduring testament to the fact that what may appear impossible for man is entirely possible for God.
So let us take heart and be encouraged by this wisdom: With man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Let it be an ever-present reminder that regardless of the challenges we face today or tomorrow, our omnipotent Father is actively involved in every aspect of our lives. We serve a Jehovah who breaks protocols—not just for miraculous interventions—but because His nature defies stagnation and inactivity. Amen. Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Amen.
Prayer for the Day!
Lord, I refuse to be confined by the limitations of my faith. Guide me to trust not in my strength but in Yours. For You are like the potter who molds the clay—shape me and mold my faith to reflect Your glory and power. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
