Impossibilities

Do you run across impossibilities often? Are you facing impossibilities? Have you tried to overcome them on your own? Have you run out of options and ready to give up? Have you decided to simply live with the reality that you cannot overcome it? Are willing to trust God?

We all face situations that we believe are impossible. If we haven’t, we will. In some cases, we are not meant to overcome them. In other cases, it is a matter of whether we will turn to God for help or not. If we don’t, we will not overcome the impossibility. If we do, we will.

It is a simple statement to say that God can do anything. It is also true. There is nothing God cannot do. But it is not about God overcoming the impossibility. It is about our faith and trust in him, believing he will overcome it, and knowing it is within his will to do so. How do we know all things are possible for God?

Jesus tells us all things are possible for God. He gives the example of a camel passing through the eye of a needle. The apostles were astounded, shocked, and confused that Jesus would say such a thing. Then Jesus told them it was impossible for us, but not for God. Jesus used an example of something outlandish to drive home the point that nothing is impossible for God.

When we face situations that appear to be impossible, we must turn to God. First, we must seek God to reveal his will to us. Second, we must pray that God carry out his will to overcome the impossible situation. Third, we must trust that God will overcome it according to his will.

I pray we all know nothing is impossible for God. I pray we seek to know God’s will. I pray each one of us pray for God’s will to be done and trust he will accomplish his will. Nothing is impossible for God. Seek God’s will. Trust God. Pray for God’s will to be done.

Mark 10:25, 27 “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” … Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.”
