Our Lord of the Impossible

Is anything too hard for the Lord?

Genesis 18:14a 

These were the words of the Lord immediately after Sarah laughed when Abraham was told Sarah would have a child within a year. Jesus said something similar after he told his disciples, “It is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” The disciples responded, “Then who in the world can be saved?” “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” (Matthew 19:23-26)

As we begin this New Year together, we want to be optimistic, but many of us may feel a bit lost. Even so, our Lord is the Lord of the impossible. We may feel confused by the chaos of life, even so, we can hope in Him. Even when we feel loss and grief upon us, we can also feel His steadfast love is upon us. God’s word to Abraham and Sarah, and Jesus’ word to his disciples, is an affirmation that we can trust our Lord of the impossible

It is very important to keep our eyes on the goal, on our ultimate purpose. But it is also important to stay in the moment, to realize our journey to our destination is as important as our destination.

My Takeaway: As I seek the life in Christ as my way of life, I am learning that the process God is using to make my goal a reality in my life, is as important as my goal. My life in Christ is both my journey and my destination.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
