When I was in my teens I perceived things to be very easy. I felt things would always be as easy as I have always had them.
But as I grew older and got exposed to the issues and challenges of life. It has become obvious that this world is filled with limitations and uncertainties, and most times I feel overwhelmed by the challenges I face.
Life is tough! It was Amit Ray who said,
Life is not always perfect. Like a road, it has many bends, ups and downs, but that’s its beauty.
It is important we know that even as believers, we may be confronted with situations that seem insurmountable, dreams that appear unattainable, and obstacles that block our paths.
But in such moments that are accompanied by doubt and despair, it's vital not to lose sight of God's assurance, and to remind ourselves of the timeless truth found in the bible.
"And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." - Mark 10:27 (KJV)
Also, the scripture text (Luke 1:37) serves as a strong reminder of God's unlimited ability and sovereignty.
Likewise, the verse assures us that every promise that He speaks will certainly come to pass, and every obstacle in our lives is subject to His authority.
Therefore as we meditate on this ageless truth, we should consider exploring its significance for our faith journey;
Firstly, holding onto the belief that nothing is impossible with God, only requires a shift in your perspective.
That is, instead of focusing on your limitations and inadequacies as a man, you must rather fix your eyes on the greatness of your Creator.
"Nothing is bigger than God"
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." - Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)
When you view your challenges not by sight, but through the lens of God's power, they fade in comparison to His ability to overcome them.
Secondly, Having faith in the God of possibilities will give you the courage to dream big and confidently pursue His goals.
The limitations of earthly circumstances and human reason will no longer bind you.
Rather, you will be free to imagine a future consistent with God's will, certain that He has the ability to make it happen.
Thirdly, you need an active faith to truly live out the reality of God's limitless power—the type of faith that can move mountains and overcome all obstacles.
Consequently, it means you are acting in obedience, even when it appears like there is no clear road forward.
It also involves holding fast to God's promises despite difficulties. It is the believer, adamantly proclaiming, "With God, everything is possible."!
Finally, the only way for a believer to feel God's omnipotence is to follow His invitation for a closer walk with Him.
The believer is frequently attracted to a relationship characterized by dependence, faith, and surrender when he or she recognizes God's capacity to accomplish the impossible.
Through this journey, we are not only prepared to believe but also taught to put our trust in Him regardless of what, believing that He will always be there to carry out His plans for us. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." - Psalms 34:19 (KJV)
Beloved! Today, I encourage you to take hold of the truth that nothing is impossible with God. Put your faith in God's love, unfailing promises, and His boundless power.
And I know you will live each day with a renewed sense of hope and expectancy, knowing that your God can do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that you could ask or imagine.
