In an Instant

"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?" – Jeremiah 32:27

God is not limited by time the way we are. We often think in terms of slow progress, gradual improvement, and step-by-step change. And yes, God works that way sometimes. But Scripture also shows us that He can change a person’s situation in an instant. One moment, life looks impossible, and the next, everything is different.

Think of Joseph in Genesis. One morning, he was sitting in a prison cell, forgotten and overlooked. By that evening, he was standing in Pharaoh’s court, appointed second in command over all of Egypt. His situation did not shift over months. It changed in a single day.

Or consider the man in John 5 who had been crippled for thirty-eight years, lying by the pool of Bethesda. In one encounter with Jesus, he picked up his mat and walked. No physical therapy, no slow recovery, just immediate healing.

That is who God is. He can speak into a situation and turn it around in a moment. The same God who opened prison doors for Paul and Silas at midnight can open doors for you. The same God who parted the Red Sea for Israel in a moment can make a way where there is none in your life.

This is why we can never count God out, even when things feel stuck. You may have been praying for years, waiting for a breakthrough, and wondering if it will ever come. But one move from God can do more in a moment than you could do in a lifetime.

You might wake up tomorrow and see the answer you have been praying for. You might be one conversation, one opportunity, or one encounter away from the change you have been waiting for. And when it happens, you will know without a doubt that it was God who did it.
He has done it before. He can do it again. And He can do it for you, in an instant.
