The God that we worship has the power to fulfill every promise that he has made to his people.

Now, everybody in this room has had the experience of listening to somebody make idle boasts.

I can do this and I can do this. Anything you can do, I can do better, you know, and so on.

And we've seen people when the crunch come, not have the ability to deliver.

And we take that human dimension of idle boasting and projected on God himself, as if God

either were a liar or an impotent weakling, as if God were sitting in his heaven saying, I'm trying

to bring about the redemption that I have promised you. I'm trying as hard as I can. Please be patient

with me, but I have to go through another aerobics program before I can get my arm strong

enough to pull off all of those things that I have said I would do.

But the God that we worship, the God that we believe has the power.

He has the strength to do what he will do. He has the power to fulfill every promise

that he has made to his people. And that's where our faith fails us, I think. And that's

because we don't know who God is.
