What is going on in your life today?
Has the doctor given you bad news? Is your marriage in trouble? Have you lost a loved one? Are you physically, financially or spiritually broken? Are the odds stacked against you, are things out of your control, does the next step look impossible to take? Don't stop, press on! Life itself is bigger, stronger, more overwhelming, outright dangerous, and seems impossible to overcome, and it is on our own. Let’s face it unless the Lord comes, we will not make it out of here alive. God’s word reminds us that we are not alone in our journey, no matter what the odds stacked against are, God is with us and for us, there is nothing and no-one greater than Him, nothing is impossible for Him, nothing can stop Him from accomplishing His will. Moses stood at the banks of the red sea, pursuing him was all the might of Egypt, beside him a couple of million-plus followers, who had just escaped 400 years of slavery, they were surrounded by death, then God parted the sea and lead them across on dry land. Gideon faced an army that was 20 times the size of his, God destroyed them with only 300 men. God left heaven, became a man and lived among us, He lived the life we cannot live, was killed by religious and political leaders, but He died for our sins, then rose again, conquering sin and death so we could be with Him. Scripture is filled with story after story of God delivering His children when the human odds were stacked against them. Do you believe if God delivered them, that He will deliver you? Then stop and behold the works of the Lord, with God nothing is impossible, be still and know Jesus is God. He can take what is broken and mend it, He can take what is dead and resurrect it, He is the author and finisher of our faith, the Alpha and Omega, creator of all things. There is nothing He can't do, if we will seek Him, trust Him and surrender it all to Him, He will do great and mighty things exceedingly and abundantly beyond our expectations. Right now ask Him for His help, seek His face, His mercy, grace, and wisdom, ask Him to use your situation for your good and His glory. God’s word says this; “My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God.”Psalms 62:7CSB “Looking at them, Jesus said, “With man, it is impossible, but not with God, because all things are possible with God.”Mark 10:27CSB “What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?”Romans 8:31CSB “Then Job replied to the Lord: I know that you can do anything and no plan of yours can be thwarted.”Job 42:1-2 CSB “Oh, Lord God! You yourself made the heavens and earth by your great power and with your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you!” Jeremiah 32:17 CSB “Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, everything you pray and ask for — believe that you have received it and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing.”Mark 11:22-25 CSB “For this reason, I kneel before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through his Spirit and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love, and to know Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us — to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:14-21 CSB
