GOD
OF ALL POSSIBILITIES: Devotion for Wednesday July 13, 2016
Text:
Numbers 11:21 – 23
Memory
verse: Numbers 11:21 - And Moses said, "The
people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet you have said,
'I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.'
God is God of all possibilities. He is not man
that fails. He is not a man who says something and fails to perform it (Gen.
18:14; Num. 23:19; Jer. 32:27; Matt. 19:26; Lk. 1:37). Here Moses doubted the
possibility of God feeding over two million people with meat in the desert. It
is a surprise, the way Moses reacted to God’s promise because he has seen
miracles and had fellowship with God. His bad mood (11:11–15) occasioned by the
cry of the people was responsible for this doubt. When we are peeved and
discontented, we lose focus on God and begin to doubt His presence with us.
This was the problem with Moses here.
Adam Clarke commentary says, “There is
certainly a considerable measure of weakness and unbelief manifested in the
complaints and questions of Moses on this occasion; but his conduct appears at
the same time so very simple, honest, and affectionate, that we cannot but
admire it, while we wonder that he had not stronger confidence in that God
whose miracles he had so often witnessed in Egypt.” Most times we behave same
way. We easily forget what God did for us in the past and we begin to question
what He can do. When such begins to happen in our lives, we should check ourselves.
We may have been annoyed and bitter about our lives. We should quickly go back
to God.
Food
for Thought:
Jeremiah 32:17 & 27 - 'Ah, Lord God! Behold, you have made the heavens and
the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard
for you. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too
hard for me?
Prayer: My father in heaven, you
are God of all possibilities. Meet me at the point of my needs (mention them)
that the world will acknowledge that you alone are God.
