For nothing is impossible with God." (Luke 1:37)
Read this verse again. And again, and again.
Do you believe it? I mean, do you really believe it?
It is true, there is nothing that God cannot do. He is the creator of our world, our universe, and nothing is to difficult for Him. This is one of those verses, like so many others that you must believe by faith. I believe God has put some things in place that make it a little easier to believe that nothing is impossible with God.
First, nature itself points to an Eternal Maker with unending power, might, majesty and creativity. Just look at the world around you. The sky, sun, moon, stars, clouds, rivers, trees, rocks, the sea all point to a God of infinite proportions to have spoken all of these things into existence. The abundance of creativity in the animal world, on land and in sea and sky. They silently point us to a Creator God who has no limits.
Then look at people. The wonder of the human body, emotions, thought, birth, the cycle of life, and the spirit within. Our bodies, procreation, beauty, love, mental toughness, inspirational thoughts, birth, life, death; all point to a God in whose image we are made.
Finally look at your relationships. The power of love, friendship, goodness, kindness, the ability to change, grow, mature, and belong. All of these things are possible due to the love God bestows on each one of us.
I have often said, I don’t know how anyone can look at the majesty of the clouds, the vastness and beauty of the earth, sky, our galaxy, and not believe in God. It is simply incomprehensible to me.
The point of this verse, however, is not only to recognize God as Creator, but also as Sustainer. When we intentionally place our concerns, problems, difficulties, weakness, sin and injury before Him, God can make a way. We must believe that. And often times we are fortunate enough to see God work. When God does not fix our issues, we cannot blame Him, or think He is not up to the task. The answer is perhaps, “wait”, “no”, or “I have other plans for you.” He is our maker, and truthfully, knows each one of us better than we know ourselves. We are wise to follow His lead.
When we truly believe God’s ability, and know in every cell of our being that NOTHING is impossible for Him, we can not only live abundantly, as we are intended to do, but we can also relax, because God is in control. Take all your cares to Him, because He cares for you, and know in your heart, mind and spirit that nothing is impossible for God. Selah.
