Hope For the Hopeful

Charles H. Spurgeon writes of a Christian once assigned a project that far exceeded his ability, its difficulty bordering on the absurd. Yet he was told to do it, and his faith rose to the occasion. God honored that faith, and unexpected results realized.

We tend to forget there is no hopelessness in God!  “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27)  Against all expectations, the Old Testament Prophet, Elisha, retrieved a borrowed axe head which was “hopelessly” lost in the water.  “So the man of God said, ‘Where did it fall?’ And he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float.” (2 Kings 6:6)  What an act of Elisha’s faith!  What an act of our God!  Desperate problems render ideas of hopelessness.  Well, the God of Elisha lives today, and He lives to help the righteous that we “may lack nothing.” (1 Thessalonians 4:12)  Let us approach the mercy seat of Christ, believing in the Lord of Hosts, pleading the Name of Jesus.  We WILL see iron float!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for being The God of possibilities.  Help us to trust You completely and rejoice in Your delights.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen
