“For nothing will be impossible with God.” – Luke 1:37
How often do you think in terms of what’s possible and impossible? Children generally don’t but once we get a little older most older folks do. It becomes ingrained in us by parents, peers, teachers, classmates, coworkers, or employers. And yet, as an angel stood explaining to Mary how her aged and infertile relative Elizabeth was going to have a baby as a sign that Mary herself was going to have a baby without an earthly father, the angel emphasized that nothing is impossible with God. Nothing!
Think about it, repeat it, and believe it. Nothing will be impossible with God. Yes, He has usual ways of operating in the well-ordered world that He created. Nonetheless, He can do anything He wants and nothing is impossible for Him. In light of that, be faithful in prayer and ask the impossible. As you grow in understanding God’s will and desire to expand His Kingdom on Earth and make disciples of all nations, ask God to do the impossible. He may choose to or He may choose to wait or He may have a better way to accomplish His will. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to ask!
When you’re facing an impossible situation, take it God in prayer. As a follower of Jesus, approach God’s throne with the confidence of His beloved child and ask for the grace and mercy you need to get past the seemingly impossible. Let God surprise you! #FollowJesus
