With God Nothing Is Impossible…

Philippians 4:13 (New Living Translation)


“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”


Isaiah 44:1-8,24 (New International Version)


1 "But now listen, O Jacob, my servant,
       Israel, whom I have chosen.
 2 This is what the LORD says—
       he who made you, who formed you in the womb,
       and who will help you:
       Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
       Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
 3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
       and streams on the dry ground;
       I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
       and my blessing on your descendants.
 4 They will spring up like grass in a meadow,
       like poplar trees by flowing streams.
 5 One will say, 'I belong to the LORD ';
       another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
       still another will write on his hand, 'The LORD's,'
       and will take the name Israel.
The LORD, Not Idols
 6 "This is what the LORD says—
       Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty:
       I am the first and I am the last;
       apart from me there is no God.
 7 Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.
       Let him declare and lay out before me
       what has happened since I established my ancient people,
       and what is yet to come—
       yes, let him foretell what will come.
 8 Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
       Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?
       You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?
       No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."
24 "This is what the LORD says—
       your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:
       I am the LORD, who has made all things, 
       who alone stretched out the heavens,
       who spread out the earth by myself,

With God Nothing Is Impossible…

Scientists say it can’t be done! It’s impossible, Aerodynamic theory is crystal clear. Bumblebees cannot fly.

The reason is because the size, weight, and shape of the bumblebee’s body in relation to the total wing spread make it impossible to fly. The bumblebee is simply to heavy, too wide, and too large to fly with wings that small.

However, the bumblebee is ignorant of these scientific facts and goes ahead flies anyway. In another word, the bumblebee doesn’t care what anybody says about it, or any report from any Scientist, it keeps on flying no matter what.

It was God who created the bumblebee and God who taught it how to fly. The bumblebee obviously didn’t question God about the problem with aerodynamics. It simply flew. It didn’t question whether God really knew what He was talking about or what He was doing. It didn’t wonder if God really loved it when He gave it such small wings. No, Sir! – No, Ma’am! – It simply flew!! – Glory to God!!

When God created us, He also equipped us for the life ahead. He didn’t say to us that life would be easier. But He says He knows the “plans” He has for our lives, for each one of us. Because He loves us, He has promised to be with us, to reach us, to carry us, and to be our Rock, and our Redeemer, “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you. This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer"   (Isaiah 44:22, 24a). Now all we have to do is just to trust Him and to obey Him.

God is not limited by our understanding of how things happen. Just because we can’t see something, doesn’t mean it’s not real. Faith is, indeed, the substance of things not seen. Sometimes life is inexplicable, and the impossible happens. We can’t always explain everything.

And just because we don’t understand how something can be done, doesn’t mean our Almighty God can’t do it. “The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” - Mark 10:26-27 (New Living Translation).
