Can God?
“Can God…?” (Psalm 78:19)
Have you ever asked yourself this question in connection with some difficulty in your life? Have you sometimes wondered in your heart, or even out loud, Can God really take care of this … does He know all about it … Can He straighten it all out … Is He really aware and concerned … etc.? The answer is found in the words of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, when they answered King Nebuchadnezzar concerning the fiery furnace. With unwavering assurance, they said, “Our God whom we serve is able” (Daniel 3:17).
Yes, our God is indeed able! He can, and He does work everything for good in our life, and as we noted yesterday, everything is running on His perfect timetable.
To question God is to lack in faith and confidence, and this must sorely grieve His heart. He is worthy of our trust at all times, and He never gives us reason to doubt Him or His word.
The next time you question “Can God?” turn to your Bible and remind yourself, “He is able.” Also, look up the following references where we have this expression in the New Testament: Philippians 3:21; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 2:18; Hebrews 7:25.
