Even If You Can’t… GOD CAN
MAY 1 & 2, 2021
KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:
2 Corinthians 12:9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:
Pastors worldwide have all had people saying things like, “I cannot do that” or, “That is not my Spiritual Gift.” How about, “I could never do that as well as so and so” or maybe, “God has not called me for that.” The funny thing is most of these people are doing nothing or little for the LORD in the first place. Maybe they cannot because they do not try! If one thing is not someone’s gifted area what is? Some think their gift is to sit every Sunday. (Pew warming is not a gift.) No one will ever know if God has called him or her to do something if they keep talking about what they cannot do and refuse to listen to God saying, “Let Me do it through you.”
Could simply trying, even in your weakness, bring God glory? It sure could. Imagine people watching you, who know you have never done this or that but see you stepping forward and saying by the grace of God I am going to try. As they see you doing work for the Lord, they will know it is God working in you and not you doing the work yourself. If they see God work through you, maybe they will step up and let God work through them also.
What is it that you want your Christian friends, your children, and your God, to hear from you? “I cannot do that…?” Well then, God has no chance to show Himself mighty in you. Those listening may well follow in your footsteps and say, “I cannot do that either….” On the other hand, should they be hearing, “I have never done this, but God, if you will help me, I will try.” Well, God will help you. Imagine what a testimony you will have been.
CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:
Just remember, Even if you can’t… GOD CAN!

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
There will not be a Daily Devotion sent out on Sundays. Instead we encourage you to attend your church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
