God Can Do It For Me
I looked at some of the other personalities in Scripture who endured the most scandalous downfalls and the most devastating crises.
The result was dramatic.
I found that God specialized in hard situations.
God is most active, most at work, most powerful, and most strategic when the odds are stacked against people.
Consider a few examples from Scripture:
Adam hiding in shame in a garden
Abraham leaving for a new unknown land
Moses in a desert for decades
Gideon leading a woefully outmatched army
David facing the giant Goliath
Elijah by a solitary broom tree
Jonah in a fish Daniel in a den with lions
And ultimately Jesus on a cross
The biblical stories of how God showed up in hopeless situations are inspiring.
Time and again, I see examples of God at work.
What has built my faith is a simple thought: if God did it for them, He can do it for me.
“Look, the days are coming — this is the Lord’s declaration — when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the one who treads grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.”
Amos 9:13 CSB
