Got Any Rivers?
This morning, I was reminded of the following song via text. I am thankful that not only do we serve a God of the impossible, but He also specializes in impossible situations! Why? That all glory may go to Him alone! I am reminded of the story of Gideon, where the Lord tells Gideon that his army is too large:
“And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.” Judges 7:2
God knew that, with such a large number of men, Israel would be tempted to take the glory for the victory. In the verses to follow, Gideon’s army is reduced from 32,000 to a mere 300 men. NOW, the Israelites were in an “only God can deliver us” situation. And God did! That is His specialty.
Got Any Rivers?
“Be of good courage” God spoke unto Joshua,
When o’er the river God pointed the way;
Jordan uncrossable, things seemed impossible,
Waters divide as they march and obey.
Chorus:
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible
And He can do what no other power can do.
Battles to win they would meet with their obstacles
Jericho’s walls too must fall to the ground;
God never failed He stood back of His promises,
Walls had to crumble as they marched around.
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible
And He can do what no other power can do
God is the same and His Word is dependable,
He’ll make a way through the waters for you;
Life’s situations by Him are amendable,
Mountains and hills He will part for you too.
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible
And He can do what no other power can do
(Oscar C. Eliason)
“And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Luke 18:27
