Only God Can Do That

Opening Verse

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Luke 1:37 (KJV)

Introduction

There are moments in life when we face challenges so overwhelming that no human effort can seem to solve them. These are the times when we must remember that there are some things that only God can do. His power is beyond anything we can imagine, and when He steps in, the impossible becomes possible.

Devotional Story

There was once a small church that had struggled for years with financial difficulties. Despite their best efforts, they couldn’t seem to make ends meet. They prayed, fasted, and sought help from various sources, but nothing changed. The situation grew dire, and the church was on the brink of closing its doors.

One day, an elderly woman who had been a member of the church for decades stood up during a service. With tears in her eyes, she shared a dream she had the night before. In the dream, she saw the church filled with people worshiping and praising God, and there was a great sense of joy and peace. She said that in the dream, God told her, “I will provide.”

The congregation was moved by her words and felt a renewed sense of hope. They decided to gather that evening for a prayer meeting, asking God to do what only He could do. As they prayed, there was a knock on the church door. A man they had never seen before walked in and handed the pastor an envelope. Without saying a word, he turned and left.

The pastor opened the envelope and found a check for a large sum of money—enough to pay off all the church’s debts and even start new ministries. The congregation was amazed and overjoyed. They knew without a doubt that only God could have orchestrated such a miraculous provision.

What This Means

This story is a powerful reminder that there are things in our lives that only God can do. When we reach the end of our resources, God is just beginning to show His. He is not limited by our circumstances or our lack. When we place our trust in Him, He is faithful to provide in ways we could never imagine.

Think About This

What are the impossible situations in your life right now? Have you tried to solve them on your own? It might be time to step back and let God do what only He can do. Trust in His timing, and remember that nothing is too hard for the Lord.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that with You, all things are possible. Help us to trust in Your power and to rely on Your provision in every area of our lives. May we always remember that You can do what no one else can. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Closing Verse

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 (KJV)
