"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" - Genesis 18:14
The context of this verse is dealing with Abraham's wife Sarah conceiving a child in her old age. Sarah was way past the years of child bearing yet the Lord promised her that she would give birth to a son in her old age. Human logic would tell us that it would be impossible for a woman of Sarah's age to conceive and give birth to a child. However, there is nothing that is too hard for the Lord. Only God can do what we see as humanly impossible.
Are you afraid to ask God to do big things in your life? Is your faith weak and wearing thin? It is time for us to abandon our doubts and our fears and to trust God to do the impossible in our lives. The Word of God makes it so clear that NOTHING is impossible for God! We must take God at His Word and expect Him to do the impossible in our lives.
This past Sunday we unveiled our theme for 2012 at our church, "Building Our Future & Our Lives Around Our Church." The church has been in a building project for about 7 years to add a gym/fellowship hall and other rooms to the existing facility. I must admit that I have been discouraged because it has been 7 years and the building is not complete. I challenged our church that we are going to see the building completed by the end of this year and do it without going one penny into debt. That is a very bold an ambitious statement and some no doubt will ask how in the world can it be done. They might even say, "that's impossible!" My response is, I am going to trust God to do the impossible at Fairystone Baptist Church! Will you trust Christ to do the impossible in your life today?
Prayer For Today:
Lord, nothing is impossible for You. Help to never lose sight of your strength and power. When I lose hope, give me faith; when others lose hope, let me remind them of Your glory and works. Today and everyday, Lord, help me to trust You to do the impossible in my life. In Jesus name, Amen!
