“Impossibilities don’t exist, because there’s absolutely nothing our God can’t do.”

A thought by Steven Furtick (2010-09-21) from his book,  Sun Stand Still: What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the Impossible (p. 39). Multnomah Books. Kindle Edition.

What a tremendous thought to realize.  What impossible situation are you facing right now? 

Let’s say you are down in a valley with high cliffs on each side of you and tall trees in front and in back of you and it is impossible for you to see what is behind, ahead or on either side.  But let’s say you are talking on your cell phone to someone up above you in a helicopter and they can see everything.  Now your situation isn’t impossible because of your connection.

Let’s say something has happened and you are in desperate need of $10,000.00.  You only have $500 in your checking account.  You are in an impossible situation.  But let’s say your father is very successful.  He keeps $50,000.00 in an account for pocket change.  So you get him on the phone and tell him your situation and he takes care of it.  It was impossible for you but not for your father.

Let’s say that you were just told that your wife has a tumor that needs to be taken out of her hip.  You don’t have the money to take care of it and you don’t have the knowledge or ability to take care of it yourself.  It is an impossible situation.  But let’s say that your brother is a surgeon and he has done the needed surgery many, many times so you call him and you make arrangements for your wife to be taken care of.

So for the Christian, impossibilities don’t exist because you have a relationship with God and nothing is impossible to Him.

So how is your connection?
