This verse has been coming to mind over and over this week "But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). It's come to mind because I feel like I'm facing an "impossible" situation... again.
I feel like they come up frequently in my life - these situations which are nicely described as "difficult" or "challenging." I was also reminded of the Israelites' time in the dessert and approach to the Promised Land - the spies went in and looked at the land and said "This is impossible!" (my version, see Numbers 13).
Here's what I love - regardless of time, space, situation - we serve a God of the impossible. We serve a God whose impossible love for us allowed Christ to come so we may have a relationship with him.
A God of the impossible who did use those scared Israelites to take the Promised Land (though 40 years later).
A God of the impossible who filled a boy's dream that his parents and brothers would bow down to him... just a few years later then expected (see Genesis 37,42).
So here I am waiting on the God of the impossible and trusting that he will work... even if it's not in the way, time, or manner that I expect.
