Great and Mighty Things
Great and Mighty Things
If you were to take serious inventory of your life today, what would you need from God? Reconciliation with a relative, a neighbor, or coworker? Maybe a new job? A pay raise? Or physical healing?
Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) says, “Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
What do you suppose God meant when He proclaimed, “GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS?”
· Just when the womb gets too old for babies, Sarah gets pregnant.
· Just when the people have given up, God sends a Moses.
· Just when the Israelites think they’ve reached a dead end - God parts the Red Sea.
· Just when the enemy seems too large and the battle too hard, the walls of Jericho come tumbling down.
· Just when the Giant seems too fierce, God sends a David.
· Just when the sin seems too great for Grace, David is pardoned.
· Just when the people have given up hope, God sends His Messiah.
· Just when the disciples fear they will drown, Jesus calms the storm.
· Just when the disciples think they’ll be Generals in His army, Jesus goes to the Cross.
· Just when the Romans and Jews think they’ve rid the world of Jesus of Nazareth, - God raises Him from the dead!
· And Just when the world least expects it - HE WILL COME AGAIN! HALLELUJAH!
What GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS do you want God to do for you? Nothing is impossible, and nothing is too hard for God! Every time Jesus heals a broken body or broken spirit. That is a GREAT AND MIGHTY THING! Each time Jesus restores a troubled marriage or relationship. That is a GREAT AND MIGHTY THING. Anytime there is forgiveness and cleansing for sin, that is a GREAT AND MIGHTY THING. And every time someone is born into the family of God by “calling” on the Name of the LORD, that is a GREAT AND MIGHTY THING! Beloved, today, lay your burdens at the foot of the CROSS and see what GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS the LORD will do for you! Praise the Lord!
