What God Can and Cannot

 

With God all things are possible

But within a certain context;

His nature must be considered

And with His word there’s no pretext.

 

Hence I start with the first

And that is that God cannot lie,

That is why I dare to trust Him

And on His promises rely.

 

God delivers on His promises

He has always done so,

Yes! God can deliver

I want the whole world to know.

 

 

The second I have selected

Is that God cannot fail,

There is no hindrance or humbug

That can His will assail.

 

Understand that God can accomplish

Whatever he sets out to do,

As a matter of fact He originally did

Without help from me or from you.

 

God cannot be defeated

No matter how great the foe,

Satan learnt this the hard way

Don’t be misled by his grandiose show.

 

 

For Satan knows that God can

And that He has won every time

And though Satan still tries to thwart Him

He knows that God is one of a kind.

 

God cannot be intimidated

My readers please understand,

Often times we pray to Him

As though we have the controlling hand.

 

God can still do the miraculous

And great works He still performs,

Many are the blessings of His wonderful grace

And in the born again such is the norm.

 

 

God cannot be distracted

From His purpose for the Church

Though Satan makes a mockery of many

As they sit upon their lofted perch.

 

Unlike God they are distracted

By the glitz and the glamour around

But God can see through the fluff

And warns that Satan will pull them down.

 

God can see the future

As though it were the present or past,

You see it’s He who sits in eternity

And His gaze over all is cast.

 

 

God cannot be confused

By the list of requests we often make,

He knows our needs before we call

And asks that all to Him we take.

 

God can hear; He is not deaf

Though we scream and shout at Him,

Neither is His hand too short to reach

Those who would be saved from sin.

 

God can cleanse the vilest sinner

I am a testimony to that,

God can keep; He sustains me

Others can bear witness to this fact.

 

Yes!

 

God can do the impossible

With Him nothing shall be impossible

What God can and cannot do

You can find it written in the Bible.
