It Ain't Over

Are you faced with a situation that seems to be dead? A loved one that you just don't think will get saved; a dream that seems like it will never be realized; a ministry that just can't seem to grow. In your mind it may be over, but it is never too late for God. Not only can He work a miracle with the living, He can even resurrect the dead.

Check out the story of Lazarus. No doubt his friends and family loved him and had expectations for him. But when he died, they buried him and started trying to figure out how to live without him. As far as they were concerned he was gone, never to return again. When Jesus arrived 4 days later, Lazarus' sister told Him "if you'd been here earlier maybe Lazarus would have lived." It was like telling God "you're too late! I needed you then but you did not come. I've already buried him (it); what can you do now?" But my God is not limited by time. He is the creator OF time! And it does not matter what time or stage you've reached in your situation, God can turn things around.

So whatever it is that you've given up on, understand that God can still bring it to pass. He can still saved that loved one. He can place a baby in a barren womb. He can restore love in your marriage and give life to a dead situation. Those desires/goals/wishes you've buried in your mind and heart can still come to pass. Is there anything too hard for God?
