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

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
