Is anything impossible for God? Ask 100 people that question and 100 out of 100 would reply NO! However, we can limit what He would like to do here on earth. I understand that may be a controversial statement to some, but that’s exactly what happened to Jesus. In Matthew 13:58 the unbelief of the people hindered the works that Jesus desired to do. Mark 6:5-6 and Psalms 78:41 also indicate that the attitude of the people affected the works of God on earth.
Uncovering lies of the enemy should be our quest in life. However uncovering his lies isn’t enough. We must be prayerful in seeking the truth which is to replace these lies. The scriptures say “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). I’d like to focus on the “rightly dividing the Word of Truth” portion of this verse for a moment. It’s discovering truth within “the Word of Truth” which is the bible, that replaces the lies we may have been exposed to all our lives. The truth, when embraced will make one free.
Safety and security from the many threats and dangers in life can only come through God’s Word. Anything outside of the Word of God can only give a false sense of security. The scriptures say that He upholds all things by the Word of His Power (Hebrews 1:3). Anything that we place our trust in to safeguard our family, our assets, or our possessions is subject to this world. Likewise anything that is subject to this world and this world system is dependent upon the frailties of mankind.
Greatness resides within you. God created in you a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that will never be duplicated. Think about that for a moment. Think of the billions of humans that have ever walked the face of the earth in the past. And think about all of those who are to come. Now realize that there has never been nor will there ever be another exactly like you. You’re the apple of His eye. You are loved beyond measure. You are a gift to humanity.
The Peace of God ruling and reigning over our hearts and minds gives us the courage to face any adversity in life. But how is such peace obtained? The key to experiencing the Peace of God is anchoring our minds on God and what He has spoken to us in His Word to us…the Bible. According to Isaiah 26:3-4, the result of tethering our minds to God’s Word is called “Perfect Peace“.
