“For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Do you worry about God being able to accomplish something? There are times in everyone’s life when they question the power or goodness of God as it relates to a particular situation. “Can God do this?” “Will God show up?” “How could God bring something good from this decision?”
In Luke 1 there are two miracle conceptions. The first impossible conception took place when Elizabeth became pregnant with John the Baptist in her old age. Luke 1:7 says that she and Zechariah were unable to conceive because she was “well along in years”. God heard their prayers and blessed them with a son who would prepare the way for the Messiah.
The second miracle conception happened when the virgin Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. During this interaction the angel Gabriel told Mary that she would conceive a son. Mary’s question is obvious: how? How could a virgin become pregnant? Why would God select her to deliver the Messiah? The news sounded impossible. But Gabriel revealed a truth about God that we need to remember. “For nothing will be impossible with God.”
There are moments in our lives where we are faced with an impossible situation that requires us to walk by faith in God’s provisions and power. God fully provides for His plans. If God is leading you He will provide for you.
God can do whatever God wants to do. Nothing is outside of God’s dominion. Because God is holy, every decision that He makes will be holy and good.
You may be faced with a situation that seems impossible. The impossible could be a physical, mental, relational, or financial issue. Regardless of the situation, the truth remains; if God is working in this situation according to His purposes then the impossible is possible.
Live It:
- How do you respond to situations that seem impossible? Do you have faith, questions concerns, skepticism?
- How can you encourage someone else who is going through an impossible situation?
Christ Chronological: Luke 1:26-38
