Wednesday... But is it really impossible?


Zechariah 8:6 (NLT), "This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small remnant of God's people. But is it impossible for me? says the Lord of Heaven's Armies."

Wednesday... But is it really impossible?

Life has its moments of great difficulties, doesn't it? There is no way that we humanly can handle them. Now looking back helps and seeing what we have gone through can be an encouragement but every new impossibility has its own challenges. And each one of them feels impossible. Especially what we are now going through. 


Now Zechariah gives some uplifting truth. In 8:6 (NLT) he writes, "This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small remnant of God's people. But is it impossible for me? says the Lord of Heaven's Armies."

So does whatever you are facing right now seem impossible to you? And it probably is, especially if you don't have God in your life. So what do we do? Do we just accept it and go on? So what would happen if we accepted that and didn't do anything about it? We don't even try because we know, we know that we can't handle it, because it really seems to be impossible 

But is it really, really impossible? Is that true?

The Amplified Bible says verse 6 this way, "Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'If it is difficult in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days [in which this comes to pass], will it also be difficult in my sight?' declares the Lord of hosts."

Genesis 18:14 (NLT) says, "is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return next year and Sarah will have a son." Sarah had just said, "Can an old woman like me have a baby?" She felt that that was an impossibility but she did have when she was old a son and named him Isaac.

Jeremiah 32:17 (NLT) says, "O Sovereign Lord! You made heaven and earth by your strong and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!" And verses 26-27, "Then this message came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 'I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?'" Or as the Amplified Bible says it, "is there anything too difficult for Me?"

And then in the NT in Luke 18:27 Jesus said this, "The things that are impossible with people are possible with God."  

So there are some encouraging words for us in what we are facing today. Yes, it may be impossible for us but with God, that's another story. 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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
