God's Power Over All
Exodus 6:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
What can't God do? It's easy to get caught up in the impossible realm being flesh. We experience powerlessness and transfer that to God. What would cause Pharoah to let go of millions of slaves, and even drive them away with his own riches? There is no rational human answer for this. The ultimate wonder that got Pharoahs attention was the killing of every 1st born in Egypt. Pharoah saw this as worse than releasing all his economic boom. God is so mighty! Sometimes, God allows the world to be so at odds with us that there can be no turning back. I recall this in a raw way as I willingly laid down my job of 19 years. If not for God's call, I wasn't leaving there. I moved up the ladder and was doing great. Then all the sudden, it was time to commit more of my time with the church God gave me too. Out of character for an employer that loved me, they did some things that was wrong toward me. I exodus'd them and that bridge is gone! No going back! God allows this sometimes which is an act of grace. God made it really easy on me to never return. I wonder, if not such a severe wonder upon Pharoah, would he take back his word again like the other times? I wonder, if I was treated with the normal mutual love I and my employer had together, would I go back? How many things in our lives are like this? What about you? Don't look at that negative thing as a setback but as a no looking back experience. Thank You God for those times.

Amen. I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back. God's presence in this life is necessary. Eternity with the Lord is worth everything.
The world behind me, the cross before me, no turning back!
Amen! No turning back! Just pray harder when things get worse and seem to crumble. If it seems like there’s no way, Jesus is the only way.
With Jesus, the world isnt falling apart, its falling into place.
