Jesus said, "With God, all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)
If we truly believe and trust in Christ, this principle should not be a problem for any of us to accept. In fact, it should be the driving force behind all of our ministry efforts. It's not enough to play it safe, reaching only for goals within our grasp. We should be bold enough and courageous enough to attempt things so huge for God’s glory, that unless he intervenes, we will fall on our faces.
Think about the goals and projects you're currently involved with. Are there any impossible things on the list? Is there anything beyond your reach? If not, maybe it's time to aim a little higher.
Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that all things are easy. Accomplishing the impossible will mean hard-work, persistence, determination, and faith. When you decide to pursue the impossible, however, you can also expect criticism, doubt, naysayers, and hurt.
I’m also not saying that all things will be immediate. Reaching worthwhile goals requires a long-term investment.
And neither am I saying that all things will be painless. Personal sacrifice is part of the process.
It may not be easy, immediate, or painless, but for those willing to step out in faith, be bold enough to trust God to do the impossible, and be willing to pay the price of perseverance, the reward will always be greater than the investment.
As Paul said..."Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Ephesians 3:20-21)
So, what are you attempting that's impossible?
