What Can God Do?

As I sit here and reflect on the question, "What Can God Do?" I almost have to laugh. What God can do is so far above my limited mind I find it incomprehensible. Even as I sit here struggling to put my ideas into words, gazing out the window for inspiration, I know I might never be able to answer that query. Each thing I look at is from God, not only can He do anything; He is everywhere. Some things I can see, most things I cannot. My world, limited by my view, by my mind, is so complex, so huge, so intricate, and so beyond anything I can even grasp. Things displayed before me, I will never understand. Most things I will never even see.

If I could explain about atoms, molecules, amebas, (things once known about, but long forgotten), and other things that surround me, simple things in structure, intricate things in nature, merely an eye blink for God, if that. If I could see the tiny microorganisms in the earth and explain what they do and for what reason, the minerals, salts, sands, dirt, life forms that live and die there, I might be able to understand more about what God can do. If I could look into an ant's brain, if that is what they have, and understand why they do what they do, or even how they do what they do, then I might know a little bit about what God can do. If I could explain why there should be as many as 14,000 species, then I might have a small inkling about what God can do.

If I take a single blade of grass, dissect it so I could see what is inside, apply that knowledge to a flower, a plant, a shrub, a cactus, an oak, or sequoia, then perhaps, I would know a little more about what God can do. If I knew a little about a honeybee and how they learn to fly, make honey, navigate the countryside, care for the queen and the larva, talk to each other, then I might be able to guess a small part of what God can do.

If I knew about hummingbirds, how they fly backward and why, how they know which flower holds what they are seeking, how they know to care for their young, to feed them, teach them to live, fly, and migrate, then I might be able to reveal to you some of the things God can do. If I could explain about the sparrow, the wren, the crow, the owl, the eagle, why they eat what they eat, the necessity of their diversity, the intricacy of their plumage, feet, eyes, skin, beaks, skeletons, and why they lay eggs, I might have sort of idea what God can do.

If I could explain the reasons for a raccoon, opossum, armadillo, sheep, pig, or horse,
