Nothing Is Impossible

Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

Mark 10:27 NASB

I find great comfort in this verse. I think you would all agree that we live in troubled times. Our nation is in financial crisis, we're in a global war on terror and the culture seems to reach a new low every year.

While my prayer would be that our nation would turn to God and we would see a national revival, we can start a revival at home. We can seek the Lord when we face the impossible situations in our lives. Whether it's financial, relational, unhappiness or you're just plain exhausted we have the hope it doesn't have to stay in the depressed realm.

Many of you have heard this verse for years or you may have memorized, but do you recall the context it is used? Jesus is speaking to his disciples about the difficulty of rich people making into the kingdom of God. He knows their dependence of Him will be tougher because they might not see the need because they are financially independent.

Assuming your salvation is secure can we all not use the miracles of God in our lives? Judy and I have been involved in marriage ministry for over 12 years and we have seen some pretty impossible situations. We have seen couples dealing with adultery, depression and abuse and these are all Christian couples. Did you really think you would be immune to these kind of issues when you came to Christ?

But many of these couples chose to believe in a big God that they worship on Sundays to turn their impossible situation around. They chose to believe in the promise that God can turn the bad things of life and make something good out of them. I'm still amazed when I think about where they were to where they are today. It's called testiomony. Testimony to God's goodness, His faithfulness and His grace.

Are you facing what seems like an impossible situation today? Are your ready to give up? Does it look like there is no way out? Find someone you know to be strong in the Lord and run your problem by them. You'll feel better telling someone, but you could get a new perspective on the issue. Undoubtedly, they will pray for you and over you and commit your problem to the Lord.

God still does miracles today and not just medical ones. Remember the operative word in the verse above, ALL. Let's take all our problems to Him and believe in His promises and watch what happens.
