Is Anything Too Wonderful for the Lord?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1779779/fan_mail/new] When Sarah heard God's promise that she would have a son in her old age, she laughed. The promise seemed impossible. After all, Abraham is ninety-nine years old, and Sarah is nearly ninety. Yet God responded with a question that still challenges us today: “Is anything too wonderful for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14). God's promises are not limited by our circumstances, resources, or timelines. What He has spoken, He is able to do. When life presents obstacles, believers are called to trust His Word more than what they can see. God's promises invite us to believe boldly, pray confidently, and depend completely on Him. Don't let delay turn into doubt. Stand on His promises, seek His guidance, and trust His faithfulness. The God who promised is still able—and He never fails.

Called To Follow

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1779779/fan_mail/new] In Matthew 9:9–13, Jesus does something remarkable—He calls Matthew, a tax collector, to follow Him. Matthew was not considered righteous or respectable by society. Yet Jesus saw beyond his past and into his potential. With two simple words, “Follow Me,” Jesus offered Matthew a new life and a new purpose. The good news is that Jesus still calls sinners today. He does not wait for us to clean ourselves up before inviting us into His presence. He meets us where we are and lovingly calls us to where He wants us to be. God's grace is not reserved for the perfect; it is extended to the willing. When we answer Christ’s call, our past no longer defines us—His purpose does. Here is your living word for today: Listen for Christ’s voice and respond with a willing heart. For More Great Content Go To  Marben Bland.com  [https://marbenbland.com/]

Your Best Days Are Still Ahead

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1779779/fan_mail/new] These are the five signs that you're aging with power, purpose, and promise. So if you can still pray like Simon, you're aging with power. If you can still climb mountains like Jacob, you're aging with purpose. If you can still learn like Apollos, you're aging with promise. If you can still think like Daniel, you're aging with wisdom. And if you can still love like Jesus, you're aging with Christ. Saints, our hair may turn gray. Or in some of our cases, we don't have any hair at all. Your pace may slow down a little bit. Your body may change. As much as you want to think you have a six pack, you don't have one no more. But if your prayer life is strong, if your purpose is alive, if your faith is growing, if your mind is engaged, if your love is expanding, then age is not going to defeat you. Because you're aging with power, you're aging with purpose, and you're aging with promise. Amen. For More Great Content Go To  Marben Bland.com  [https://marbenbland.com/]
