With God All Things Are Possible
Last weekend I came into the Miracle Lodge to welcome the military families and when the door is shut to the Riverside room this Old Testament scripture is put into the wood door. It is referring to the time when Solomon was building the temple and needed some encouragement, direction and wisdom. I don’t think I ever came across this verse in my lifetime. One year before we started this 9 year Mt. Everest size project, I read it and God used this verse to SPUR ME ON and get to the starting line. There are 6 points to this verse and I needed every one to begin:
Get to work
The size of the task is huge
I am the Lord your God
Be strong
I will never fail you
It will be finished correctly.
In 2000 the Miracle Lodge was begun and I can’t tell you the many unknown and human uncertainly the next 9 years. Did I have a few sleepless nights? I am sure I did, but God was always faithful IN HIS TIME. I did hang a sign in the lobby, which read, “Due to economic uncertainties, the light at the end of the tunnel is turned off until further notice.” Believe me I read it many times, but with time and patience He never failed us and it was finished on time correctly. God definitely honored this verse and the saying, “If God’s in your dream, no request is too extreme.”
HOW ABOUT YOU? What challenges and uncertainties are you facing today? I understand that the pandemic is heavy on your heart and taking its toll on everyone. The best advice I have is not my words but the words of the Lord and there are many. “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God goes with you, he will NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU.” Deuteronomy 31:6 “Lo I am with YOU ALWAYS until the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20. The rock outside the Miracle Lodge says, “With God all things are possible”
If you don’t have a copy of my book (16, 565 extra days and counting) I would encourage you to get one. In chapter 21, you will read of the 31 miracles stories of the Miracle lodge.
Miracles Happen.
