- Not that difficult situation you are experiencing at work.
- Not the conflict you are having at home.
- Not the confusing circumstances surrounding that decision you need to make.
- Not that rebellious child.
- Not the ministry you are attempting without seeing results.
- Not the pain that is just not going away.
- Not that broken heart, broken relationship, or broken promise that won't fix.
- Not your lack of talent, skills, knowledge, resources, or _____ (fill-in-the-blank).
- Not that rejection you have faced.
- Not the mistakes you have made.
- Not your personal problems.
- And not even the problems of the entire world (you know the ones that seem so overwhelming).
Why can we be confident of this? Because of the One who knew then what we know now.
Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again." Luke 18:31-33
He said, "He will", and He did. What was thought to be impossible was accomplished. The biggest triumph in all history occurred when least expected. As crazy as it may have seemed, the greatest rescue plan of all time was pulled off successfully.
What can we say about our situations then? In the words of a little child, "Not Im-possible, but Him-possible".
Amen!
