I love to read The
Word. One of my favorite verses is
Matthew 19:26, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are
possible.” As I was meditating on that
verse the other day, I began to think about faith. I thought about how it takes faith to believe
that verse and apply it to my life. I began to think about the people in The
Word that believed it, applied it to their lives and accomplished so much for
the Kingdom.
When God told Noah to build the arc, Noah believed that verse;
with God he built the arc and saved himself, his family and the animals.
(Genesis 5:14, 7:5) When God told Moses
to cross the Red Sea, Moses believed that verse; with God he led his people
across on dry ground, saving their lives.
(Exodus 16:14 & 21) When God
told Joshua to march around the city for 7 days, Joshua believed that verse; with
God he marched around the city and saw the walls fall, enabling the city to
be taken. (Joshua 6:3, 4, 20)
When God told Mary, a virgin, that she would have a baby and name
Him Jesus, Mary believed that verse; with God she gave birth to a baby,
named Him Jesus and was a part of bringing our Lord and Savior into the world
so that we would not have to die in our sin but receive eternal life. (Luke 1:31, 2:7)
“…with God all things are possible.” I had to ask myself as I was meditating, do I
believe that verse? Has my past
experience with God proven that verse to be true? As I meditated on all that God has done in my
life, the answer to that question for me is, “Yes, I know that ‘...with God
all things are possible.’”
I am so thankful this Christmas season that “…with God
all things are possible.” I am so
thankful that what seems so impossible for man is possible with God. I am so thankful that the “impossible” birth
of our Lord and Savior to the Virgin Mary was “possible” with God.
Are there any
“impossible” situations in your life? If
so, I encourage you to surrender your life to Jesus and trust God for
the impossible to become the “possible”.
Noah, Moses, Joshua, Mary…..all
regular people, just like you and me, who surrendered and trusted God for the “possible”. It is my prayer for you this Christmas, you
join the people in the Bible in surrender and trust God for the
“impossible to become the “possible.”
Encouraging
You In Christ this Christmas Season!
All Praise,
Honor and Glory to God!
