Jeremiah 32:27 says ‘I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?’
DAILY READING – 1 Corinthians 7:1-24; 1 Kings 20; Amos 4:4-13
The faith-based movie, ‘Miracles from Heaven’, released in 2016, has become a great inspiration to many people across the globe. It is the true life story of God’s miracle and mercy to the Beam family, when they desperately needed His help. Annabel Beam, born in 2002, was diagnosed by doctors as having an incurable, deadly digestive disease. With these chronic and life threatening disorders, Annabel’s family life revolved around hospital emergency rooms and rare disease specialists. Doctors tried their best, but it seemed a losing battle. Annabel suffered through years of pain, invasive hospital tests, and failed surgeries, before doctors unable to do anymore for her, finally sent her home to die.
While at home from the hospital, Annabel was weak and often needed pain medicines to endure the pain. One time Annabel said to her mother, “Mommy…I just want to die and go to Heaven and be with Jesus where there’s no pain.” While the family continued in prayer, they did not know God will answer them in unexpected ways.
On December 30, 2011, Annabel’s mother was pleased when nine year old Annabel, who had been bedridden for some time, decided to go outside and play with her sister. Annabel joined her sister Abigail in climbing a cotton tree in their yard. But while climbing high, Annabel accidentally stepped on the edge of the tree trunk, which suddenly crumbled beneath her feet. She fell head first, thirty feet below into the dark hollow of the tree trunk. Alarmed, Abigail quickly climbed down, and alerted their parents.
When their father climbed up, and looked down into the tree’s hollow, he could see Annabel lying motionless at the bottom. The parents immediately called the emergency response team. It took firemen over two hours to finally lift her out of the tree. Fortunately she was alive. Immediately she was air lifted to the hospital, and went through a barrage of tests and exams to access the damage. But to everyone’s surprise, the ER doctor reported that she didn’t have any serious injury. Not only that, medical specialists were amazed to later find that her long standing incurable digestive disease was gone. They couldn’t understand it. However Annabel revealed that while lying at the bottom of the tree trunk, she had a divine visitation and encounter with Jesus, and He had healed her of her incurable disease. Annabel’s transformation was undeniable. Soon she got off all her medications and became a happy, healthy child. Her incredible story is captured in the award winning movie ‘Miracles from heaven’ which has inspired millions of people around the world.
Indeed we serve the God of miracles to whom nothing is impossible.
Sometimes like Annabel’s parents we may find ourselves faced with problems that seem bigger than us. At those times, the natural tendency is to worry and fret. But what we really ought to do is to hand over that situation to God and believe Him for the incredible.
Indeed it is not over until God says so. After you have done all, just stand in faith and believe God for your miracle. God is able to do incredible things in ways and manners that we cannot fathom.
How could falling 30 feet into the hollow of a tree cure a child of a deadly chronic disease? Well, when it doesn’t make sense, it makes God. Doctors had given up and sent Annabel home to die, yet God showed up in an unexpected and unprecedented way.
This is why we cannot limit what God can do in our lives.
Jeremiah 32:27 says ‘I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?’
Indeed there is nothing God cannot do. This is why we should quit looking at our challenges and rather get our eyes on the all-powerful, Almighty Creator of the universe. Quit talking to God about how big your problems are and start talking to your problems about how big your God is.
No matter what it may look like, as long as we trust in God, we can be assured He is working it all out together for our good.
Numbers 23:19 says ‘God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?’
Whatever God Has promised, He is able to perform. There is no situation that we may face that is too difficult for Him. Whatever adversity or challenge you may go through, always remember that God is well able to see you through.
Psalm 46:1 says ‘God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear,’
In God, we have an immovable rock that we can always run to. In your darkest night, when you feel the weakest and it looks the most hopeless , be assured that your loving Heavenly Father is right there with you. Even when nothing seems to be happening, He is moving mountains and orchestrating situations to bring forth your miracle. Therefore don’t quit praying, don’t quit believing. God will send help to you out of Zion. He will bring deliverance in ways and manners your thinking could never even fathom. He will give you the victory, because He is a good father. Indeed, to God, nothing is impossible.
PRAYER: Lord, I know with you nothing shall be impossible. Please help me to always focus on your Word so that I can possess the faith to believe You for my miracle. Thank You Lord for the amazing things You are set to do in my life this year in Jesus Name..
