6 “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. 7 I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity[a] and will rebuild them as they were before. 8 I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. 9 Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’- Jeremiah 33:6-9 (NIV)
Imagine what the Lord can do for you. Put it this way: Imagine what the Lord could do for you based upon what is in His will for you.
He is able to do all. That’s why we call Him the Almighty. He has power and dominion over everything. It’s just part of who He is to us. He is Lord. He is Jehovah Jireh. He is our Provider. He provides what is within His will and what is necessary to confirm His Word.
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. – Psalm 115:3 (NIV)
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. – Psalm 115:3 (KJV)
The rationale is simple once we have the proper perspective on who god is and how He operates based upon His revelation through His Word. Our theology must be based upon His holy revelation through the Scriptures. When we accept Him in faith, we believe all that is said about Him in His Word.
Such a God as this is awesome. He is powerful. He is wonderful. He causes us to give pause and wonder if we could ever manifest such goodness in our own lives. We question whether we can ever love in the true sense that God offers love. We know that we fall short and stand in the need of grace, but we are certain that God has called us to be better than we ever do in this life.
This is the type of God who forgives Israel for its rebellion against God. This is the God who can love a nation full of harlotry and idolatry. Here is God who provides by the might of grace and supplies by His own mercies. He called Israel out on all of their stuff, but He still said that He could and would bring them health and healing, even cleanse them despite them having sinned against Him.
He can provide through His power. He can forgive . He can love. He can heal. He can cleanse. He can do all of these by His own power. He is a powerful provider. He can provide more in restoring us than we ever could imagine that we could ever deserve. He is powerful. He is our provider. He has all the power that we need to provide us with all that we need.
20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 (KJV)
