Uncrossable Rivers of Life

Luke 18:27

We often find ourselves bogging down in our spiritual growth simply because the challenges before us look absolutely impossible. Such frustrations are not new. Jeremiah tells us: “Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You” (Jer. 32:17).

Do you realize that whatever thing or things you’re calling “impossibilities” could be superimposed over what God says is “nothing” to Him? Nothing!

Close your eyes for a moment. I want you to think about that which seems most impossible. Nothing is impossible with God. That includes your uncrossable river, your mountain, any impossibility. Is it your business? Or your school? Or your marriage? How about keeping the house clean, keeping up with the wash, having a ministry with others, or healing strained relationships with people? Will you ask the Lord to handle that specific impossibility, and then leave it with Him in a faith that simply will not doubt?

Do that right now . . . please!

Remember, the things impossible with men are possible with God.

What seems most impossible in your life? Will you ask God to handle it and then trust Him in faith and not doubt?
