Are You Measuring God's Ability by Your Limited Perspective?
Isaiah reminds us: "Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save..." (Isaiah 59:1). The Hebrew word for "save" (yāšaʽ) means to rescue, deliver, bring into freedom, and grant victory. God doesn't merely help us cope with impossible situations. He delivers us from them.
We count the budget. We count the volunteers. We look at attendance, facilities, and available resources and sometimes conclude, “We don't have enough.”
Our circumstances may seem overwhelming to us, but they never overwhelm our God. There is no degree of difficulty with God. What seems impossible with humans remains completely possible with God (Mark 10:27).
God has never been limited by what limits us. Our greatest challenge may not be the size of our problem, but the size of our view (perspective) of God. God's arm is not too short to save, rescue, bring into freedom or grant victory.
Here is a question to ponder: Where might God be asking you to see His greatness instead of your limitations?
