"God
Can Do Anything!”
Do you believe that God can do
ANYTHING? Have you experienced God doing the impossible in your life? As I walk
through this Advent season I have been making an effort to focus on Christ and
the impact He has had on my life by listening to His voice, seeking where I
need to change and holding on to answered prayers. I see God everyday but some
days it seems as though He is really making a subtle impact on my life as I see
the incredible work of His hands.
At the Advent Experience I saw God
open doors for a woman who felt hopeless and helpless. Earlier in this month, I
experienced an answer to a longstanding prayer for my family. I see God working in
my marriage and our children’s lives on a regular basis. A few months back I
was on an airplane praying to God; He answered immediately. As I looked out the
window I saw a beautiful rainbow. I knew it was His signature to answered
prayer.
Do I always believe God can do
anything? Honestly, I can say sometimes I am skeptical - but then all I need to
do is look back and realize how He has moved mountains and answered prayers in
unusual and unexpected ways. I have experienced immediate answer to prayer and
longstanding prayers that are not immediately answered. Either way, I hold on to
the promise of hope that the Christ Child brings.
