God Can

I can’t. But God can. I am weak. But God is strong. I am afraid. But He can

make me brave. I can’t do it alone. But I don’t have to be alone. In my

darkness, God is my light. In my pain, He gives healing. I love the verse

in Isaiah that says if we hope in the Lord, we will soar on wings like

eagles. We will not grow weary or be faint. God will give us strength.

Sometimes, we need to be weak so that we can see God’s strength. Sometimes,

we need to fall down so that we can remember how good it feels to be lifted

and held by Him. I can’t do all the things I want to do. In many ways, I

don’t have the ability to change my circumstances or make my life turn out

how I want. I don’t have the strength to do big things. Not on my own. I

can’t do a lot of things. But God can. When I feel weak, He invites me to

turn to Him. When I feel alone, His Holy Spirit reminds me that I am never

alone. Jesus came to be Immanuel, which means God with us (Matthew 1:23),

and He died and rose again so that everyone who puts their trust in Him

could become part of God’s familyincluding me. My God is always with me,

looking out for me, giving me healing, and being the light in my darkest

moments. I can’t, but God can do all things. Bethany Acker Do you ever

feel overwhelmed by the things you can’t do? How can times of weakness help

us grow closer to God? (Take a look at 2 Corinthians 12:9.) Sometimes,

life feels like it’s just too much. Yet, through Jesus, God gives us

comfort and the strength to do what He calls us to do. One of the ways God

helps us is through Christian community. Who are trusted Christians in your

life who you can be honest with when you are struggling? But those who hope

in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah
