“And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.” Numbers 11:23
Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible’ (Matthew 19:26). This verse embodies the essence of achieving the impossible with Christ. It reminds us that our limitations are not barriers to God; they are opportunities for His strength to be displayed in our lives.
Consider the story of blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52. Sitting by the roadside, he called out to Jesus in faith for healing. His hope was not misplaced; Jesus heard his cry and restored his sight. Just like Bartimaeus, we too can experience profound transformation when we call out to Jesus amidst our struggles—be it for physical healing, breaking of bondage, or the gift of forgiveness.
Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for whoever draws near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”
Let us hold onto this truth like an anchor in stormy seas—an analogy reflecting how hope in Christ stabilizes our wavering hearts and minds. Though waves crash around us, threatening despair or defeat, remembering God’s promise allows us to remain steadfast and hopeful.
In closing, let’s seek courage in facing life’s challenges: Lord Jesus, guide us into a deep-seated hope that looks beyond what is seen and clings to Your word with unwavering faith. In Your name alone, we find the grace sufficient for achieving the impossible. Amen. Isaiah 59:1 says, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear.” Amen.
Prayer for the Day!
Oh Lord, grant me patience and perseverance, for I know that Your timing surpasses my understanding. Illuminate my path with Your wisdom, allowing me to see opportunities where there appear to be obstacles. With a heart full of gratitude, I trust in Your infinite power, knowing that all things can be accomplished under Your guidance. Amen.
