Is Anything Too Difficult for God?

My husband is the handiest man I’ve ever known. He can just about fix anything. He can make broken things run again. He can repair just about anything, from broken toys to broken vehicles.  We’ve had motorcycle blow-outs and he’s plugged the hole and gone on. We’ve had alternators quit and he figured out a way to get us home. 

One day I called him when I arrived home first.  We had no electricity. I looked in the neighborhood and everyone else had their lights on.  I knew I had paid the bill, yet I was doubting myself. I was torn up! I called him and found out that he was on his way home.  He got out of his car, went to the side of the house and checked the main power switch. With a simple flip all power was restored!

Last night I heard him vacuuming the car. I wanted to go out to thank him and laugh with him, “It’s not gonna do much good with all the trees dropping their blooms.” But before I had a chance to get out there I heard the leaf blower.  Sure enough he was blowing away all those as well!

God says to you this morning, Is your heart broken? I can fix that! Is your faith sight failing? I can correct that.  Are you wondering if you can get through the next hard circumstances looming before you? I can get you through that.  Everything that needs fixing in your life – from church to faith to work to home to anything else you can name as a problem or a trouble – God says to you this morning “I can fix that!” His name is I AM and because of that, He is I AM for every situation in life. He says to you daily that I AM the one who loves you, I AM the one who provides for you, I AM the heart mender, the circuit repairer and the fellowship restorer. I AM your all in all – so that when you come to Me you never have to wonder if you’ve done something wrong, forgotten to do something right or messed up. Even when you mess up I AM with you. I AM here for you, I AM able to meet all your needs, bless all your life and fix all your problems.

You may say you are all alone, you have no one to help, but God is always with you and He is always the answer to life’s problems and He holds the answer to your problems in His heart. Trust Him, go to Him and let Him be your everything, for He always says I love you and I am for you and that’s all that really matters.

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

Exodus 34:6 The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I AM slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.

Psalm 75:3 When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I AM the one who keeps its foundations firm.

Isaiah 43:11 I, yes I, am the Lord, and there is no other Savior.

Jeremiah 32:27 I AM the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for Me?

Psalm 37:5 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will help you.

God Sees the Redeemable in You!

I look at some of my old keepsakes and I realize they are falling apart. Little bits of ribbon are dangling and words are fading. Shiny adornments are coming loose and smudges of dirt and age abound. Anyone else would just throw the “junk” away. But it’s my junk and many of the pieces hold precious memories.

It’s amazing what a little craft glue will do.  The thick white substance has been around my family for more years than I’ve been alive. If you look closely at some of mother’s old knick knacks you’ll see faint lines of the stuff holding things back together.  Whoever invented the stuff did a good thing. Otherwise many a craft and memory would be thrown away.

Our lives are a lot like knick knacks. Some of us are pretty worn out for the wear. Our hearts have grown weary and our emotions are tattered messes. We long for the days when we felt and looked fresh and clean, without a chip or blemish. We long for things to be put back together and as much as we try, nothing seems to work. Someone might look at one of us and say, “Nope, no good, let’s pitch ‘em”. No redeemable value, not even enough for a garage sale.

But God sees the redeemable in us. He looks beyond the tatters and worn spots. Unlike repairs on dainty ornaments or knick knacks, which only make things look more like the original, God wants to take your life and make it completely restored and different! He looks deep into the heart of things and finds us fit for His mantel shelf. His desire is to take us, polish us up, make us new and show us off for eternity.

Oh beloved, if you’re feeling a little forlorn and useless this day, run to Jesus! He is the fixer of broken hearts and broken lives. He can and will take everything that’s wrong about you and about your life and make it new again! He is truly the glue that will put your heart and life together again. No matter if you feel you are dangling at the edge of the trash bin, He will take everything about you and make you renewed!  Give the pieces of your life to Him. His promises are promises, unlike the world’s promises which are subject to change, emotion, personality or economy, God’s promises are REAL! He loves you, precious one, and He calls you to come to His repair shop and let Him work it all out for your good and His glory! Now that’s worth praising His name!

Revelation 21:5 And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine).        (AMP)

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.      (AMP)

Ephesians 1:4 Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes.

Ephesians 4:23  Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

Psalm 71:22  Then I will praise you with music on the harp, because you are faithful to your promises, O my God. I will sing praises to you with a lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, and He has identified us as His own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything He has promised us.
