There’s Nothing that Our God Can’t Do ~ Passion ft.

Then the LORD
said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh…?” ~ Genesis 18:13 NIV
I know there have been multiple times that I’ve asked
God, “Why.” Why did He allow this or that to happen? But this is the first time
I remember Him asking me, “Why.” He didn’t ask me because He didn’t know. I believe
He asked me because He did.
In Genesis 18, the Lord visited Abraham and Sarah to let
them know Sarah, who was very old and had been barren, would have a child in a
year’s time. Upon hearing this, Sarah laughed, as likely we all would. Most women
aren’t having children after age 50, let alone older. But the Lord surprised
them when He questioned Sarah’s laughing at His statement.
Just like Sarah, I questioned God’s ability. It’s been
over four years since God gave me vision and direction and then let me wait…and
wait… Several months ago, a friend said I should go after this dream. I told
her God would make it happen when He was ready. Then, a few weeks ago, another
friend said I should go after my dream. I told her that dreaming was easy but making
it reality was harder. That’s when God asked, “Why?” Why do you doubt? How
can you believe for other things, but this feels impossible to you?
Does this sound like your story? Do you trust God will
fulfill certain prayers, but some dreams feel too far out of reach? The good
news is that if they’re too big for you, then they are about the right size for
God. God wants to fulfill dreams in such a way that there’s no doubt He made it
happen. Today, let’s determine to stop doubting and decide to believe God will
do as He promised.
