He works in His perfect way

In the midst of learning and re-defining what grace is to me, I have also been learning how sovereign God is over everything... yes, I say everything! 

We see all over the Bible how God advances Himself and His glory, His name and His fame over and over again when it looks LEAST possible for us. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

1. He promises the heir when Abraham and Sarah are too old to have children.
2. He splits the Red Sea when Israel is hopelessly trapped by Pharaoh's army.
3. He gives manna when there is no food in the wilderness.
4. He stops the Jordan River when it's time to take the land.
5. When a city stands in the way, He makes the walls fall down.
6. When the Midianites were as many as the sand of the sea, God whittled Gideon's army down to 300 so God would get the glory for the victory.
7. When Goliath defies the armies of the Lord, God sends a boy with a sling and five stones.
8. When the Son of God is to come into the world, God calls a virgin to conceive.
9. And when the mighty devil himself is to be defeated, a Lamb goes to the slaughter.

And those are only a few of the examples...
God is God. We are not.

"Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
Luke 18:27
