If God Can…

If God can make wine

            without grapes,

                        then God can make coal,

                                    without plants.

Then God can make oil and natural gas

            without animals or plants.

Then God can make dirt

            without time consuming processes.

Then God can make plants

            without seeds.

Then God can make chickens

            without eggs.

Then God can make stars

            without cosmic bangs.

Then, praying moms, God can make a wondrous work

            out of anything our children face in this universe He created.

This is what our Lord said to the father whose child needed His help—

"If I can?" Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if you have faith.”

Mark 9:23 (TLB)

This is what Matthew Henry wrote concerning this verse—

In dealing with Christ, very much is put upon our believing, and very much promised it.

Canst thou believe? Darest thou believe? Art thou willing to venture thy all in the hands of Christ? To venture all thy spiritual concerns with him, and all thy temporal concerns for him? Canst thou find in thy heart to do this? If so, it is not impossible but that, though thou has been a great sinner, thou mayest be reconciled; though thou art very mean and unworthy, thou mayest get to heaven. If thou canst believe, it is possible that thy hard heart may be softened, thy spiritual diseases may be cured; and that, weak as thou art, thou mayest be able to hold out to the end.

Praying moms, dare to believe and hold out to the end!
