FAITH CAPSULE: The only thing God cannot do is He cannot fail.
Acts 3
God cannot fail, not fall or falter, but attends to one that waits on Him.
Only God inhabits eternity, and His mercy endures forever.
God is the eternal surgeon and provides for the needy.
The grace of life is not by right but a privilege of God.
To be alive today is not a merit but a mercy of God.
Gracious God will turn frustration into celebration, stagnation into motion, and God alone will convert mockery into a miracle.
The servant of Elisha could only see stagnation crowding him and Elisha in the face of the enemy.
2 Kings 6:14-15 records about Elisha and his servant, “…horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city. And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”The servant of Elisha saw fear when he reported to his master when he could not see an escape from the enemy.
The servant of Elisha gave himself to fear.
As a prophet of God, Elisha knows to behold God in times of challenges.
Elisha responded to his servant in fear of the enemy, “So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” (2 Kings 6:16-17)
The prayer of Elisha opened the eyes of his servants to see that the hands of God were in place against the enemy.
Are you in a situation causing you to behold the enemy?
Know that the miracle of God is on your side.
Keep looking up to God.
Lameness can be a mockery.
A lame man who is limited in motion needed a miracle in the place of his mockery.
Acts 3:2 states, “…certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple.”
Begging for alms was the portion of a lame man.
The lame man desired to come out of lameness.
Mockery to miracle demands attention with expectation.
The lame man gave attention with expectation as Peter said, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.”(Acts 3:6-8)
God is yesterday, today, and forever.
For your miracle, behold with expectation for manifestation.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled by beholding God in all situations.
