“Can God?” the subtle Tempter breathes within, When all seems lost, excepting sure defeat, “Can God roll back the raging seas of sin?” “Can God?” the fainting heart doth quick repeat.

“God can!” in trumpet tones rings faith’s glad cry, And, David-like, it fears no giant foe, For faith dwells on the Mount, serene, and high, While unbelief’s dark clouds roll far below.

“God can!” His Saints of old did ever give Their fullest confirmation o’er and o’er, And He who made the long-dead bones to live, E’en now can bring the dead to life once more.

“God can!” Then let us fear not, but arise! Our motto be this word that He doth give, If we have faith, before our wondering eyes a mighty army shall arise and live! J. A. R.

Can God? ” Oh, fatal question! It shut Israel out of the Land of Promise. And we are in danger of making the same mistake. Can God find me a situation or provide food for my children? Can God keep me from yielding to that besetting sin? Can God extricate me from this terrible snare in which I am entangled? We look at the difficulties, the surges that are rolling high, and we say, “If Thou canst do anything, help us!” They said, “Can God?” It hurt and wounded God deeply. Say no more, “Can God?” Rather say this, “God Can!” That will clear up many a problem. That will bring you through many a difficulty in your life.

There is no strength in unbelief.

Has the life of God’s people reached the utmost limit of what God can do for them? Surely not! God has new places and new developments and new resources. He can do new things, unheard-of things, hidden things! Let us enlarge our hearts and not limit Him.

“When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence” (Isaiah 64:3 KJV).

We must desire and believe. We must ask and expect that God will do unlooked for things! We must set our faith on a God of whom men do not know what He hath prepared for them that wait for Him. The Wonder-doing God . . . must be the God of our confidence. ANDREW MURRAY

The Wonder-doing God can surpass all our expectation!
