We don’t like being
associated with deadness. We prefer things that can respond to our actions or
words. We like situations that we can alter at will with minimal negative
consequences. So what do we do when certain areas of our lives seem to be
experiencing deadness? How do we distinguish between things that are beyond
repair and those that have a breathing chance of recovery, no matter how small
the breath?
God is able to turn a
situation of severe famine into a flood of abundance in the twinkle of an eye.
He is able to allow a small football team to humble another team full of
world-beaters. He is able to use a small pebble in a shepherd boy’s hand sling
to defeat the immense hero of their chief antagonists. God is able to part water
bodies to allow His people passage through and He can similarly walk on water
to get to His people. He is able to cause the rain to fall and also at a word
command a storm to cease, in an instant.
Much will be said for
and against instant expectations to answers for prayer, but we know for a fact
that God can do things in an instant. No matter the time it takes to settle our
issues, the blessed reminder is that no situation is beyond the ability of God
to overturn, overtake and turn around. Don’t give up, no. Don’t give up, no.
keep the dream alive, hold on to your aspirations in life. It may seem dead,
but God has raised up dead situations in the past as well.
