Making Impossible Possible

"And looking at them Jesus said to them, 'With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'" -Matthew 19:26 (NASB)

"I can't!"  Those words are one of my pet peeves.  Whether coming from my daughter or my students, these words usually indicate giving up without taking the time to apply a full effort or to problem-solve.  While the problems faced by my daughter or my students may seem impossible from their current level of development or from their perspectives, there is usually a solution, even if it requires more effort than they are willing to put forth at first.

There are times in all of our lives when we might feel we face something impossible.  When approaching the impossible, we have a choice to make.  Like the rich man that did not want to follow the advice of Jesus, we sometimes try to find our own ways to overcome the impossible.  Once we realize our efforts alone are not enough, we can talk to God and choose to follow His plan.  When we choose to follow God, we can be assured that He can make the impossible possible!  Instead of stopping to say, "I can't!", each of us can say, "All things are possible through God!"

When things seem impossible, call on God and know that all things are possible through Him!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for making the impossible possible.  Help me to turn everything over to You and to trust You.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
