Day 13: Nothing is Impossible

Day 13: Nothing is impossible

Read: Matthew 19:16-30, Mark 10:17-31, Luke 18:18-30, Philippians 4:10-13

im·pos·si·ble (impossible)

adjective
1. not possible; unable to be, exist, happen, etc.
2. unable to be done, performed, effected, etc.: an impossible assignment.
3. incapable of being true, as a rumor.
4. not to be done, endured, etc., with any degree of reason or propriety: an impossible situation.
5. utterly impracticable: an impossible plan.

Be assured that while man throws around the word impossible for seemingly every thing under the sun, that the word 'impossible' is not part of God's vocabulary. It is a word that we thought up on our own for which we believe carries allot of relevance.

But it does so only because we subtract God from the equation. If there is no God, the kind of God portrayed in the Bible, then we would have every right to believe that there are all kinds of impossible things going on in our families, our homes, in our communities, our churches .... anywhere you can put one foot in front of the other.

However, it makes perfect sense that if the God of the Bible indeed exists, then there is nothing, literally nothing, that is impossible. By definition, God excludes the realm of the impossible. Water into wine - done! Quelling a storm - done! Bringing the dead back to life - done! With God all things are possible. With man all things are possible through Jesus Christ (raised from the dead) who strengthens them in all things.

Description of a Christian: Someone prepared to attempt the impossible and with God's help and Christ's strength, achieve success where none was believed to be. What more motivation could God give us to help us get through each of our days?

Today's Prayer: Ask God, that in those moments when impossible is the only choice you believe you have, to create for you a vision of hope, a spirit of strength and a heart filled with possibility (Philippians 4:10 - 13) through Jesus Christ our Lord.
