2 Kings 3:18 But this is only a simple thing for the Lord, for he will make you victorious over the army of Moab.
Three kings and their armies had joined together to fight the King of Moab but had found no water for themselves, troops or animals for seven days and were desperate, so they appealed to Elisha to speak to God for them. They were told God would fill the valley with pools of water even though they'd see no wind nor rain to do it. God told them it was a simple thing for Him to do and that He'd give them victory over their enemies as well! And yet to them it must have seemed impossible.
How often do we look at circumstances or situations, both in our own lives or across the world and think that's never going to change. It's impossible! Maybe when we do that we should wash our mouths out with soapy water! God says nothing is impossible with Him! For Him our 'impossible' is a 'simple thing'! Have we forgotten how powerful our God really is?
If we look at the problem all the time it gets bigger and bigger. But if we magnify the Lord and remind ourselves of all the miracles and outstanding wonders He has done, then we'll realise our problem is not a problem to God at all but that it's a small thing to Him.
Instead of going to God and telling Him how big our problems are, let's thank Him we can go to our problems and tell them how big our God is!
As we begin this week let's get those things back in perspective - our God is bigger, mightier, stronger and more powerful than anything - with Him nothing, no situation, is impossible!
Psalm 34:3 Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.😊
