Impossible-Possible

Have you ever watched someone do something, carving in ice, doing a chalk talk, get a computer going when you have been working on it for hours, and wondered "how did they do that"? Something aren't that difficult when you are trained in those areas. For an person who is good a carving, carving in ice isn't that difficult but to someone who only "carves" a piece of steak well, that is another story.

Be careful that when it goes to things that God is doing that we don't try and explain them away. How many times have we heard people try to deny that God has done something miraculous. Today we see that Abraham and Sarah were well beyond child bearing age when the Lord tells Abraham that by "next year" Sarah would bear a child. Now that is "impossible", yes it is for man...but not for God.

Gen 18:9-15 9 Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "There, in the tent." 10 He said, " I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing. 12 Sarah laughed to herself, saying, " After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?" 13 And the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old?' 14 " Is anything too difficult for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son." 15 Sarah denied it however, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. And He said, "No, but you did laugh."NASU

Are you facing a humanly impossible situation? God can do more than we can think or ask.

Eph 3:20-21 20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. NASU

Trust God to do what you can't do!
