Tuesday... All things are possible.


Genesis 17:17 (MSG), "Abraham fell flat on his face. And then he laughed, thinking, 'Can a hundred-year-old man father a son? And can Sarah, at ninety years, have a baby?'"

Tuesday... All things are possible.

We are living through a season of the impossible. Yes, the birth of God's Son to a virgin is impossible. But we celebrate here at Christmas the fact that it happened. 


And here is another impossible happening. In Genesis 17:17 (MSG) we see where, "Abraham fell flat on his face. And then he laughed, thinking, 'Can a hundred-year-old man father a son? And can Sarah, at ninety years, have a baby?'" But they did and out of that son, Isaac, came a great nation. 

What in your life needs an impossible to happen? Listen, all things are possible with God. The Bible is full of times when God did the impossible. And that is a great reason why we must keep in God's Word. 

Verses 15-16 (NLT) says, "Then God said to Abraham, 'Regarding Sarai, your wife - her name will no longer ne Sarai. From now on her name will be Sarah. And I will bless her and give you a son from her! Yes, I will bless her richly, and she will become the mother of many nations. Kings of nations will be among her descendant.'" Sarah was 89 at the time.

So what impossible needs to become possible in your life? Now there were a lot of different impossibles here with them but the fact that Sarah was going to be 90 when Isaac was born was really impossible. And Abraham laughed at the possibility and later so did Sarah. So what impossibility in your life are you laughing at? But all things are possible with God. Verse 17a in the New Living Translation says, "Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief." And the disbelief is what holds us back, isn't it?

Now the impossibility came because of the time. If they were young then it would have just brought excitement and maybe there is a time issue with you and if it hasn't happened yet then your faith says that it isn't going to happen but time is not an impossibility to God. Listen, God has a plan and you can trust him with the when it will happen. Yes, time and trust go together in our relationship with God.

Psalm 47:7-9 (AMP) says, "For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding. God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne. The princes of the people have gathered together as the people of the God of Abraham, for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted."

So put your trust in this God of Abraham. All things are possible for God! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit?

Nehemiah 6:16b (NLT), "They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit? Over in the Old Testament in the book of Nehemiah it tells of a major task that through the leadership of Nehemiah was accomplished. The walls of Jerusalem had been torn down and God had laid it on Nehemiah to build those walls back up. It was definitely an almost impossible task but Nehemiah 6:15-16 says, "So on October 2 the wall was finished - just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Now, we so many times want to take credit for doing the impossible. It would make such a difference for us. But I wonder what would happen through us if God got the credit? Psalm 96 tells us what we are to do. Verses 2-3 says, "Sing to the LORD; praise his name. ...

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...
