Are you walking a hard road today? Come talk to a mentor.
“…but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26b)
When we are going through a trial it’s hard to imagine how things will get better. God wants us to depend on Him in every trial we face. When we can’t, God can. God loves us as dearly and He is willing and able to turn our situation around if we will depend on Him, trust in Him, and wait on Him.
Pharaoh had a disturbing dream foreshadowing the seven years of famine that would come upon Egypt. He told Joseph,“I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”(Gen. 41:15) Joseph was the king’s last hope. The pressure on Joseph to interpret the king’s dream must have been intense.
Instead of making something up to humor the king, like other wise men did in hopes of saving their neck, Joseph openly admitted to Pharaoh, “I cannot do it.” This was not the answer Pharaoh wanted to hear. However, Joseph goes on to say“but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” (Gen. 41:16)
“But God” — I bet those two words were music to Pharaoh’s ears. Joseph couldn’t give Pharaoh the answers he sought, but God would. Not only did God give Pharaoh the interpretation to his dream, He used Joseph mightily to prepare for the famine and exercise his gift of administration.
What are you facing today that only God can turn around? No matter what you are facing, no matter what your need—rest assured, when you can’t, God can. Apart from Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5), but with God all things are possible (Matt. 19:26).
God thank you that no matter how discouraging my circumstances may be, I can have hope because You can turn it all around and make a way when there was no way. Help me Lord to do my part to trust you and wait on your deliverance. Amen.
