BUT GOD!

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

We all have had times when things looked impossible or beyond our ability to do anything about them. It’s at those moments we need a ‘BUT GOD’ moment, because we know that with God all things are possible.

Jesus tells us to ask seek and knock, and James tells us one of the reasons we don’t receive is because we don’t ask God in the first place, or because we’re asking with a wrong motive. God is always our ‘go to’ person at all times, day or night and He wants us to put every situation, whatever it is, into the God realm. Just ask. God is able to do far exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power at work in us. 

I love that thought - the God Realm. That’s the realm where nothing is impossible, where the closed doors are opened, where God organises people and things to work out for our good and His glory, but they come about in response to our faith filled prayers.

I heard a recent true story of a man who worked 3 jobs to buy an accordion when he was 20 years old. Shortly after he bought it, it was stolen. Fast forward 60 years, he is now 80, and he was recently in hospital, very sick and he said ‘God I want my accordion back!’ Two weeks later it was found and returned to him! He asked God why it took so long to come back to him and down inside he heard God say “Because you never asked!”

Do you need a BUT GOD moment in your life? If so, can I encourage you to just ask God for it and know that God has a way even where there is no way. The daughter of that same man said to her dad, “If God can return your accordion, after 60 years, why can’t we ask for him to restore your health as well?” So they did ask, and he is now well and at home playing his accordion.😊

I hope that puts a smile on your face and gives you hope as we go into another week, because God is still in the business of answering our prayers and giving us our ‘but God’ moments, no matter how long we’ve waited. With God all things are possible.😊Thank You Lord.
