A
reminder for today
Jesus
looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But
not with God. Everything is possible with God." (Mark 10:27)
Never ever give up. Life is all about those unexpected
curve balls. Each day sees a new challenge and a new obstacle that just can’t wait to
see us fall. What happens so many times is that we get to that point where we
just give up and we don’t want to try anymore, because it seems that all our
attempts end in failure.
Jesus knew all about hard times and He understands the
storms that we face when we feel there is no more reasons to carry on and
continue. Jesus knows, because He too felt the fear of a massive challenge that
seemed beyond His human abilities. Jesus prayed in the garden just before He
was captured and crucified.
He
told them, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here
and keep watch with me." He went on a little farther and bowed with his
face to the ground, praying, "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup
of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not
mine." (Matthew 26:38-39)
Jesus felt the burden of what awaited Him and in the same
way He knows how our burdens can drag us down and drive us to the point where
we are broken and destroyed. But what makes me stop and think is what Jesus
ends His prayer with: Yet I want your
will to be done, not mine.
Jesus says that there are many things in life that will
feel impossible for us and many challenges that will seem like destructive storms.
Jesus says here in Mark that it may be humanly impossible, but with God all
things are possible.
So today I want to remind you that when you reach the end
and you feel it to be impossible, it is all possible with God. So don’t give up,
my friend, stand firm and keep on fighting.
Lord I pray that we will make these verses our own today
so that we know when it seems impossible to us it is possible with you. Lord
let your will be done and not ours. In Jesus name.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
