Morning Thoughts

A walk through life toward eternity

‘If You can?’

“Hosanna.  Hosanna.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna.  Hosanna.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna.  Hosanna.
Hosanna in the highest.

Hosanna.  Hosanna.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest.
In the highest.
In the highest.
Hosanna.
Hosanna in the highest.”

Closing Lyrics Sung By Hillsong UNITED
“Hosanna”

We cannot be afraid to call upon the Lord.

We cannot be afraid to lay IT at the feet of Jesus.

We cannot be afraid, doubting if—HE CAN!

WE CANNOT!

Because—

  • We can walk forward in faith, knowing the Lord is able!
  • We can walk, faithfully following wherever His Holy Spirit leads, doing whatever He says to do!
  • We can walk, courageously bold, falling upon our knees!
  • We can cry out to our Savior, knowing that HE is faithfully there, making a way!

YES, HE IS ABLE TO DO WHAT WE ASK!

“O LORD,
You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive,
that I would not go down to the pit.
Sing praise to the LORD,
you His godly ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.
For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;

[for an eternity]

Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.”

  (The Psalms 30: 3-5 NASB)

Amen & Amen & Amen & Amen!

Early this morning, while darkness covered the earth, I was awed by the moonlight.  My brother said—

“Sometimes I think God is telling me that yes I can light the whole world with the sun, but I can also take a little bit of light with the moon and make just as big or bigger impact.”  As I stood in my open front doorway, peering into my front yard (which I could CLEARLY see at 4am), my brother’s words rang true.  We expect to be able to see when the sun shines brightly in the sky, BUT GOD proves that we are able to see even if only His moon shines.

  • What are you praying for today?
  • What prayer are you lifting, hoping God hears your cry?

HE IS ABLE!

HE HEARS YOUR CRY, CHILD OF GOD!

HE DOES!

HE HEARS YOUR CRY, CHILD, EVEN WHEN THE WORDS WILL NOT EVEN FORM!

HE CAN & HE DOES!

Above everything, remember, HE CAN!

JESUS CAN—

  • Mend our child’s broken heart.
  • Mend our broken marriage.
  • Repair our broken relationship with a wayward child.
  • Repair whatever we call broken within us.
  • Save the ones we love who remain unbelieving.
  • Save the ones we know who live & work next to us.
  • Save, even the ones we do not know, those who are in “the uttermost parts.”
  • Heal the hole deep within our heart.
  • Heal the one we are praying for this day.

We believe Jesus Can!

We believe.  We believe.  We believe!

In the Bible, we read many narratives, many instances when Jesus raised someone up by the hand, caused the blind to see, made the deaf to hear, healed those filled with demons & brought healing to those when all hope was gone.  I find myself drawn to the amazing fact that Jesus heals—when we believe.

Do not believe my words but read with me & BELIEVE GOD’S HOLY WORD.

“And He asked his father,
“How long has this been happening to him?”
And he said, “From childhood.
It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him.
But if You can do anything,
take pity on us and help us!”


And Jesus said to him,

‘If You can?’
All things are possible to him who believes.”


Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said,
“I do believe; help my unbelief.”


When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering,
He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it,

“You deaf and mute spirit,
I command you,
come out of him and do not enter him again.”


After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out;
and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said,
“He is dead!”
But Jesus
took him by the hand
and raised him;
and he got up.


When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately,
“Why could we not drive it out?”
And He said to them,

“This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.”

(The Gospel According to Mark 9: 21-29 NASB)

God is at work, at this moment, doing things in His miraculous way!

&

God will complete His plans He has for each one of us!

May we Pray—

  • For His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
  • For His will to be done in you & in me.
  • Calling upon the LORD, Who Is Able!

May we never stop praying.

‘If You can?’

JESUS IS ABLE!

‘If You can?’

THE LORD CAN DO ANYTHING!

‘If You can?’

WE MUST PRAY, BELIEVING—HE CAN!

LORD, “help my unbelief.”

“Hosanna.  Hosanna.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest.
In the highest.
In the highest.
Hosanna.
Hosanna in the highest.”
