Don’t we all just love stories of the impossible turned possible? After all, we each face dauntingly improbable situations now and then, and these stories of hope and victory give us something to hang on for.
But as Christians we have more than a good story here or a kind word of encouragement there to keep us plugging away. We don’t just count on good karma, good luck, or properly aligned stars to make the impossible happen. And we don’t have to keep our fingers crossed, keep our halos polished or even think positive thoughts in order to see miracles happen. In fact, now get this one down straight, we don’t even have to say particularly eloquent prayers, pray often enough, or beseech the Lord with a certain degree of passion in order to see the spectacular in our lives.
We have a God who consistently amazes us with His power, His love, His perfect timing, His ability to move and work where no man can go, and His supernatural ability. And He alone is big enough, strong enough, and powerful enough to do the miraculous without any manipulation on our part.
In Jeremiah 32:27, God says of Himself,
Just popping by to say hi and here I got this amazingly beautiful word from the Lord. Thank you, my friend! I am praying something right now that feels impossible, but with God, it is possible. Thanks for reminding me of that.
I know nothing is impossible with God. I do believe that, just need stronger faith sometimes and a heart full of anticipation of what is ahead.
Ahh Lord God – So glad He's in control! I still catch myself worrying about things, particularly with regard to my college kids who don't always make the best decisions. What a comfort that He loves them more than I do AND He knows how to get their attention. Still, it's hard for this mama bird to watch her little birdies scurry and tumble.
Ahh Lord God – help me to trust You completely!
