“What Cannot God Do?”

In the Bible we read, “What cannot God do?” Since coming to Plainfield Church, one of the most important things I’ve been taught is to rely on God and to ask for His help in everything I do. I’ve seen that, with His help, we can do things we never dreamed possible.

As an example, in the beginning of 2019, our church website was expanded to include translations in a number of Far Eastern languages. As chairman of the Broadcasting and Website Committee, I needed to learn how to make web pages and videos with languages that are read from right to left, rather than from left to right, and also to figure out how to combine each citation of the translated Lessons with the corresponding citation in English. I know that it is only because of God and practitioner support that I was able to get that done, and then to keep up with it all through the year.

All of that has become part of a build system comprised of over 200 little programs that help us make videos and update all the websites each week. If you had told me even three years ago that I would be doing all this, I would have been pretty skeptical, to say the least.

I am constantly amazed at how Christian Science is showing me that my self-imposed limitations mean absolutely nothing to God. It gives me such joy to know that God has so much in store for all of us; and if we stop resisting Him, then we will see what we are truly capable of doing, because of Him.

And now, despite having no specific idea what 2020 will bring, I do know that this year will be filled with good and will bring nothing but blessings to all. What a joy it is to be a part of this mission!
