Is Anything Too Hard
for God?
By Amber Schamel
Have you ever had a problem that you just can't fix? You've
tried everything, but have nothing to show for it? I had one of those
situations last week.
I was copying some CD's for a non-profit when the robot
duplicator stopped working. I had shut it down the night before, and when I
came back the next day, it wouldn't turn on. Tech support had told me that the
motherboard or CPU was about to go out, and when it did, it would cost a lot of
money to get it fixed. I spent 30 minutes plugging, unplugging and fiddling
with cords, switches etc . trying to get it to turn on, but to no avail.
Yesterday, I was at my wits end. I needed to fulfill an
order, and it still wouldn't turn on. I
stopped, bowed my head and silently prayed. Lord, we
really need this duplicator to work. The non-profit doesn't have the money to
replace it, and we're using it to encourage people in Your word. Please make this thing turn on and work
properly.
Did you know that
Jesus fixes computers?
I flipped the switch, and the duplicator immediately sprung
to life. I haven't had any problems with it. It made me wonder why I hadn't
prayed about it long before! Thus the infamous words of the song:
"Oh what peace we often forfeit!
Oh what needless pain we bare,
All because we do not carry,
Everything to God in prayer."
Oh what needless pain we bare,
All because we do not carry,
Everything to God in prayer."
Some may say, that is a very small thing. Why would God care
about that? But you know what, sometimes God's greatness is shown by how small
of things He can do. This little thing He did for me was a great reminder of
the power of a faith-filled prayer, and that NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD.
What do you need God to do in your
life? Is it too big? Is it too small?
Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of
all flesh: is there any thing too
hard for me?
