Impossible Isn’t in God’s Dictionary – Two2Grow, May 5

Maybe you are facing problems that, in the natural, look impossible to overcome. I know the feeling. This is where we need to remember that God is not limited by how this world operates. When you look at how the power structures of this world function—the institutions that control finances or job opportunities, boards that vote, insurance companies that make evaluations, and so on—you can feel very small, thinking that what God has told you is impossible and will never happen.
When the three visitors came to Abraham and Sarah (Gen. 18), they promised that Sarah would give birth to a son. Sarah laughed at the thought because there was no way, in the natural, that it could ever happen.
Have you ever looked at your circumstances and compared them with the dream God put in your heart? And the only response is to laugh at the big discrepancy!
We shouldn’t judge Sarah too harshly. It is a natural human reaction to laugh when we encounter things that differ by light-years from our present reality. I would also laugh if someone told me that one year from now I would sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl or win the Nobel Prize in Physics (not that any of that is part of my dream—just saying!).
We should never forget whose children we are. We are God’s children, and “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” The answer is a resounding “N-O-T-H-I-N-G”! The word “impossible” isn’t in God’s dictionary!
When we face something that looks completely impossible, we look to Jesus, and he will tell us, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26).
Lord Jesus, help me today to lift my eyes from the circumstances that cause me to be discouraged and instead look to you, because for you nothing is impossible.
