Whatever He Chooses

For who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?

Psalm 89:6

A young boy was waiting after church for his family, and the pastor struck up a conversation with him. Since the boy had just come from Sunday school, the clergyman decided to ask a little question to see how much he was learning. He said, “Young man, if you can tell me something God can do, I’ll give you this apple.” The boy thoughtfully replied, “Sir, if you can tell me something God can’t do, I’ll give you a whole box of apples.”

There really isn’t anything God can’t do. The Bible speaks of God’s almighty power by using the word omnipotent. To be almighty is to have all the power. Only God has all the power. A theologian has defined the omnipotence of God like this: it is the power of God, or His ability and strength, whereby He can bring to pass whatsoever He pleases, whatsoever His infinite wisdom may direct, and whatsoever His purity of will may resolve. In other words, God is able to do whatever He chooses to do.
