Nothing is impossible with God

"For nothing is impossible with God." These words were spoken by an angel to Mary concerning her cousin Elizabeth's pregnancy. The angel was telling Mary she would bear Jesus as a virgin. Elizabeth was used as an example of God doing the impossible in order to give Mary faith to believe and not doubt. The very next verse after this one is Mary's response. She says, "I am the Lord's servant..."

I think most of us don't live believing we serve a God of the impossible. Our daily worries and concerns demonstrate our fear and lack of faith. We look at our circumstances and listen to what the world whispers in our ear about them. This morning in my quiet time I read these words, "...even if we took our circumstances and cast all the darkness of human doubt upon them and then hastily piled as many difficulties together as we could find against God's divine work, we could never move beyond the blessedness of His miracle-working power. May we place our faith completely in Him, for He is the God of the impossible."

For the first time in my life I have really had to place my faith completely in God as I have faced cancer. Doctors are telling me what I am doing is impossible. They don't believe taking the nutritional route will heal cancer. Their prediction of death over my life is enough to cause me to be tempted to run off the path I believe and am trusting God has called me to. Daily I remind myself that my Father is a God of the impossible. My faith is stretched and strengthened with every supplement I take and every glass of carrot juice I drink. He is a God of the impossible and He loves to show His miracle working power through us.

No matter what circumstance you find yourself in today, remember He is a God of the impossible. He will give you the strength to forgive. He will give you the courage to apologize. He will give you the ability to face your day with joy and thanksgiving. You are so blessed no matter what is happening in your life because you have a giant slayer on your side! Nothing is impossible with Him. If you truly believe this you will face each day with joyful anticipation of what God is going to do in and through you. By your attitudes and actions choose to be a miracle in the making!
