“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; May 22, 2008

 

          Are you ready for a riddle … ready or not here it comes:  What can we do that God can’t do?

          Now if you grew up in an environment that praised God as the Ultimate Being; this might seem to be a trick question.  We gained comfort in the fact that there is nothing that God can’t do … but, that’s not necessarily true.  So, what is the answer – what can we do that God can’t do:  remember our forgiven sins.  When we develop a relationship with God that produces forgiveness, we might be nagged by the ills we have done; but, God truly forgives and forgets.  As one forgiven believer put it, when God forgives us “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103:12)

          The limitations of man make it tough on us; but, the perfection of God provides us with a hope in a future.  Is there something that is nagging us … the best thing we can do is seek a relationship with Him, then “let go and let God”.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
