"Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
But Jesus beheld* them (the disciples) and said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
YES, HE CAN!
The Saviour can lift every burden,
the heavy as well as the light;
His strength is made perfect in weakness,
In Him there is power and might.
The Savior can solve every problem,
the tangles of life can undo;
There is nothing too hard for Jesus;
there is nothing that He cannot do.
The Saviour can bear every sorrow,
In Him there is comfort and rest;
No matter how great the affliction,
He only permits what is best.
The Saviour can strengthen the weary,
His grace is sufficient for all;
He knows every step of the pathway
and listens to hear when we call.
The Saviour can break sin’s dominion,
the victory He won long ago;
In Him there is freedom from bondage,
He’s able to conquer the foe.
The Saviour can satisfy fully the heart
that the world cannot fill;
His presence will sanctify wholly
the soul that is yielded and still.
The Savior can solve every problem,
the tangles of life can undo;
There is nothing too hard for Jesus;
there is nothing that He cannot do.
“The One who has done the greatest thing of all for you, must be concerned about you in everything, and though the clouds are thick and you cannot see His face, you know He is there. 'Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.' Now hold on to that. You say that you do not see His smile. I agree that these earth born clouds prevent my seeing Him, but He is there and He will never allow anything finally harmful to take place. Nothing can happen to you but what He allows, I do not care what it may be, some great disappointment, perhaps, or it may be an illness, it may be a tragedy of some sort, I do not know what it is, but you can be certain of this, that God permits that thing to happen to you because it is ultimately for your good. 'Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness...' (Hebrews 12. 11)." (Spiritual Depression Its Causes and Cure, 145)” ― Martyn Lloyd-JonesMartyn LLoyd Jones
* To behold is to look intensely — it's much more than a glance.
