All Things

b'God can do all things. There are countless passages in the Bible about\\namazing things God has done. The Exodus is a good example. God rescued the\\nIsraelites, along with many other people, from the ruthless rulers who had\\nenslaved them in Egypt. God sent plagues until Pharaoh let the people go,\\nand then God went ahead of His people in a pillar of fire and cloud to\\nguide and protect them. When Pharaoh\\u2019s army came after them, God made a\\npath through the Red Sea by piling up the water so His people could walk\\nthrough\\u2026on dry ground! It\\u2019s just crazy to think about. Think about the\\nsea; have you ever made piles of water while at the beach? Of course not!\\nOnly God can. God can do all things. In Joshua 6, the Israelites faced off\\nwith Jericho. The people of Jericho were already scared of the Israelites.\\nThey were really scared of God, because they had heard about how God parted\\nthe Red Sea for His people. Neither the Israelites nor anybody are anything\\nwithout God. He told Joshua to lead the Israelite army around the city of\\nJericho once each day for six days. On the seventh day, God told Joshua to\\nmarch around seven times. Joshua and the people listened, and the walls\\nfell! God can do all things. In John 11, when Jesus arrived at His friends\\u2019\\nhome, Lazarus had been dead for four days. Both Mary and Martha told Jesus\\nthat their brother Lazarus would have gotten better from his sickness if\\nJesus had been there. Jesus replied, \\u201cYour brother will rise again\\u201d (verse\\n23). Martha thought Jesus meant Lazarus would rise on Resurrection\\nDay\\u2014which is the day of Jesus\\u2019s second coming when everyone will rise from\\nthe dead and those who believe in Jesus will live with Him forever. Later\\nin the passage, Jesus was with Martha at Lazarus\\u2019s grave. Jesus told her to\\nroll the stone away. She had no idea what Jesus was doing, but she obeyed.\\nThen Jesus prayed out loud to God, and Lazarus walked out of the grave when\\nJesus commanded! God can do all things. \\u2022 Josh Wager \\u2022 Do you have a\\nfavorite story about something amazing God has done, either from the Bible\\nor from your own life? \\u2022 If you want to dig deeper, read Exodus 1:8-22,\\n12:37-38, 13:17\\u201314:31, 15:8; and Joshua 2:1-24, 6:1-20. Jesus looked at\\nthem and said, \\u201c\\u2026with God all things are possible.\\u201d Matthew 19:26 (NIV)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nExod.14.21-Exod.14.22|Josh.6.2-Josh.6.5|Josh.6.20|John.11.1-John.11.44|Matt.19.26'
