Facing the Impossible, Then Giving It Up

Good Thursday morning! Let me check that out...okay, calendar and computer date seem to agree that this is indeed Thursday, so we're good. Today, something you face probably seems impossible to you and me. A lot of things are impossible with us, but the Word says that nothing is impossible with God. So... there seems to be an obvious solution there: take all that seems impossible to the Lord in prayer.

It seems odd or worse to us to take the impossible to the altar of sacrifice and there give it up to the Lord. We think that this life is a struggle against the impossible and that we are destined to push up against that impossible wall until we die. Impossible belongs to us, after all, how can we set our throne above God's if we don't overcome the impossible? Oh no! That sounds a lot like a line spoken by another, a certain adversary of ours. Yes, by claiming our right to the impossible we may well be in the camp of the enemy standing behind the wrong banner.

Dear Lord, help us please to overcome the impossible in the right way. By looking to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we can overcome in His strength and to His glory. Let us give up the impossible to the One who said, "With God all things are possible." Thank you, Lord, for taking on the impossible facing me today. Amen.
