The God of the Impossible
Good morning.
Scripture reading: Luke 1:26-38
Worship Song: He Is Able
Meditation:
We often respond to life's challenges with immediate worry and fear, instead of trusting in divine deliverance, despite our faith that our all-powerful God is in control. When fear and doubt occur, remember that we serve a God who calms the stormy wind, helps the Israelites cross the Red Sea on dry ground, delivers them from captivity, opens the wombs of the barren, allows the elderly to conceive, causes a virgin to become pregnant, and performs wondrous miracles. The impossible for humans is possible for God.
God
told Jeremiah, 'Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything
too hard for me?' The same phrasing was used in Genesis 18:14 when the Lord
appeared to Sarah and Abraham. This message is a reassurance to believers that
God is all-powerful and capable of overcoming any difficulty. "Is there a
problem you think too difficult for God?" Trust in the Lord, the Creator
of Heaven and Earth, because nothing is impossible with Him. Our faithful God
guarantees His promises. Lay down your burdens, doubts, fears, anxiety, and
worries at the foot of the cross and trust in God's provision.
Let us pray.
Everlasting Father, the God who made Heaven and the Earth by
thy great power and stretched out arm, I acknowledge that there is nothing too
hard for you, O Lord. Almighty God, seated at the seat of control, in times of
distress, we seem to forget who you are, and we seem to forget that the things
that are impossible with men are possible with you, O God. Father, we apologize
for the times we have trusted our own judgment instead of relying completely on
you. Forgive us, O God, for relying on our own understanding rather than
depending fully on you. Forgive us for not trusting You fully and relying on
our understanding or the works of men instead of You. In times of distress, we
forget who You are and that with You, the impossible becomes possible. Thank you
for the reminder today. Help us trust and believe You will deliver us from
troubles. Comfort those who mourn, help the helpless, give spiritual sight to
the blind, heal the brokenhearted, bind the wounded, and set captives free. We
offer praise and thanksgiving for all You have done and will do, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
