I believe that God can do more than we could ever ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20-21 says "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
On my last post, I mentioned Tropical Storm Emily which looked like it was wreaking havoc on the country of Haiti. News reports were saying that 20 inches of rain was expected in the mountains and would cause incredible flooding in the city of Port-au-Prince where so many people are still living in temporary shelters and tent cities after the earthquake in 2010. I know that the people of God were praying in Haiti for the rain not to come. I know I was praying for God to spare this country from another disaster.
That Thursday morning, I was traveling to Haiti. When I finally arrived, not a drop had fallen in Port-au-Prince and there was no flooding. The wind was strong, but there was no rain and the rain did not come. God worked a miracle here. Tropical Storm Emily was one of these times where God showed that He can stop the storm. Even when our reason and knowledge tells us the storm will come, He can calm the storm and protect His people when it is His will so He can get more glory!
"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Amen!
Romans 8:28
ReplyDeleteAnd we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
God's love is shown in these things. All we see about weather reports like this one in Haiti is about 20 seconds on the Weather Channel. We tend to fixate on the bad and completely miss the good! Everything that God does is motivated by love. And that is reason to rejoice.
