Karen Moore - Its Still Possible: 100 Reminders That God Can Do All Things

With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.

MARK 10:27 NKJV

Y ouve been there. Youve been to the place where you were ready to reach for a star, set your dreams in motion, get your life moving on the path you were certain it should goand then the unexpected happened. Clouds became so thick you could hardly see your star, your dreams went off-kilter, and your path was constrained, severely limited, beyond difficult. You looked at it all and declared in your heart, This is impossible!

As a believer, you acknowledge the words of Jesus, reminding you that some tasks might not be possible for you, but they are possible for God. You know intellectually this is true, but how can those words bring comfort to your heart and mind when everything you hope for falls apart? How can you trust that God is guiding you past the obstacles and toward your goal?

The first step is to surrender your dreams, your hopes, and your very life to God, trusting that He is your guide and your infinite voice of possibility. Seek His face, knowing that on your own you can do nothing. Like David going out to slay the giant, Goliath, you must be ready to face the future undaunted, trusting that with God on your side, you can do anything.

These devotional readings will remind you of all thats possible, holding up the light so you can move forward and encouraging you to trust your Creator for everything you need. Get ready to put your life, your work, and what means the most to you into Gods powerful hands. You can watch Him mold you and shape you within His world of possibility. Its your time to do impossible things.

Believing with you in all that is still possible,

Jesus looked at them intently and said, Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.

MARK 10:27 NLT

I n the following scene from his book Through the Looking-Glass, Lewis Carroll shines a light on one of the biggest issues in the human experience:

Alice laughed: Theres no use trying, she said; one cant believe impossible things.

I daresay you havent had much practice, said the Queen. When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes Ive believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Alice is like most of us. She sees the reality of the world and cannot grasp how some things are even possible. Her mind is finite, and as she observes the world, she tosses the miraculous aside and quickly declares, Its impossible!

Perhaps the Queen in this tale believes as God would have us believe. She admits that she may not practice it enough, now that shes older, but somewhere in her younger days, she was able to believe many impossible things before breakfast.

Maybe it would help us if we would return to a more childlike faith, to the times when we believed in all that God can dowithout question. Perhaps with a rekindled belief in all that is truly possible, we could focus on what brings us more assurance and more awareness of all God does.

When you are experiencing the bleak moments of life that cause your spirit to sag and your belief to waver, call out to the One who makes all things possible. After all, your life is in His hands, and He has unlimited power for good, for your good. He wants to carry you through each dark moment into His glorious light. Why? Because He knows all that is possible and He wants you to know it too.

So ask yourself: What do you believe?

Lord God, I often believe I have no choices or no possibilities for success in the situations I face. Rekindle my unwavering belief in You, and remind me to put my life in Your hands every day. I trust You will guide me toward those things that are meant for me. Help me to fully believe You are God of all that is possible! Amen.
