“I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” – Genesis 41:16

We cannot do it all.

As we pursue every dream, purpose and assignment within us, we will find that there are many things that we just cannot do on our own. And many times, not only can we not do them on our own, but even others will not be able to help us.

We cannot meet every need.
We cannot have every answer.
We cannot be all things to all people.

We cannot do it all.

We cannot change people.
We cannot make people do what we want them to do.
We cannot make people believe what we want them to believe.

We cannot do it all.

We cannot come up with every idea.
We cannot create every opportunity.
We cannot predict what is going to happen.

We cannot do it all but……

God can.

God hears what we do not hear.
God knows what we do not know.
God anticipates what we do not anticipate.

God can.

God provides when we cannot provide.
God encourages when we cannot encourage.
God makes a way when we cannot make a way.

God can.

God opens the doors that we cannot open.
God changes the people that we cannot change.
God makes possible what we cannot make possible.

Simply stated: God can do what we cannot.

And that should encourage us all.
