Impossible(s)

  I recently read a comment that the writer believed that the Lord would do something ‘impossible’ in their life. Do you? Do you believe, for yourself, that the Lord will do something in/to/about your impossible(s)? As usual there are some questions you need to answer for yourself, such as: Do you feel that you ‘deserve’ His attention? Are your impossible(s) resolvable? Does attending to your need put someone in harm’s way? Why would you not be a candidate for His care? Don’t forget the scripture that tells us: 

     “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
      to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to 
      Him.” (2Chronicles 16:9)

The only ‘condition’ I read is ‘heart is loyal’ – is this you? Are you loyal to God? Granted, the question may be… how do you define ‘loyal’?

  We all face situations and people that we define as ‘impossible’ that may not be impossible for others… but that isn’t the point – other than determining the impossible designation is truly accurate, at least for you, that’s the point. And you can’t pray that ‘God will change them’ – it doesn’t work this way. God doesn’t impose any more in someone else’s life than He does yours. He invites, He helps us to understand, etc. but He does NOT force. No one can complain that they didn’t ‘know’ but they also can’t say they had no choice.

  ‘Impossible(s)’ may be a momentary irritant or it may be far more serious, demanding your time, attention, resources. And yes, you may be able to resolve ‘them’ on your own. Or… you can turn to the Lord and ask for His wisdom and His answer(s). My experience is that it is far quicker when I ask Him to be with me in/through the situation and seek His answers. He always answers though it is never just plopped in my lap. I do need to look to Him and let Him lead.

  Years ago, Oral Roberts was ridiculed for his, “Something Good is going to happen to/for you today” comment. Sometimes our ‘good’ is in the eye of the beholder, as is our ‘impossible’ answers. Do we seek? Do we see? Impossible(s) are like our mountains… they can end up in the sea. (Matthew 21:21 and Mark 11:23)
