Sept 23

VERSE:
"'If you can ?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who
believes."

-- Mark 9:23


THOUGHT:
A desperate father comes to Jesus with a request for help IF
there is anything he can do to help. IF! IF? Everything is possible
if we believe. Does it mean it will happen? Not necessarily, but we
know it CAN happen if God chooses to do it to glorify himself,
protect his people, or accomplish his will. Our commitment needs to
be that of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who basically told King
Nebuchadnezzar, "We serve a God who is able to deliver us, but even
if he does not, we will not worship other gods who are false!" (See
Daniel 3:16-18)

PRAYER:
Now to God, who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more
than we can ask or imagine, be glory ... forever and ever. In the
glorious name of Jesus I praise you. Amen. (cf. Ephesians 3:20-21
