Yes! It is Still Possible!!! AMEN!

‘When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade,’  This is far more than the power of positive thinking. It is the power of God that makes what seems impossible possible. This phrase, “with God all things are possible,” proclaims the absolute sovereignty and uncontested power of God. 

With what ever situations the Lord has placed you be strong, faithful and keep fixing your eyes on Christ. Whether it be the up's or low's the Lord is Faithful. Even though financial needs look bleak, Sickness, health is spiraling down, relationships broken Keep looking at the Lord, pray, repent, forgive, love, read the word of God, stand firm in Lord Jesus Christ in all circumstances. 

So what does “with God all things are possible” mean in its original context? It means “only God can save sinners and give them eternal life.” No human being can hijack this power, in salvation or in any other matter. What then should be our response? Humility, submission, and trust. God does what he pleases. He acts according to his will, not mine or yours. We misunderstand this phrase when we act like it is a guarantee of success for any task we are facing. We, like the rich young ruler, think that we have complete control over our lives if God is with us. 

Instead, we must realize that, if God is indeed with us, it is he alone who has complete control over our lives. Because all things are possible with God, we must submit to him and yield ourselves to his sovereign plan, trusting him to do what is best for us, even when it included failure.

During this discussion, you might have thought about another passage of Scripture that seems to contradict what I’m saying. Didn’t Paul himself say, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13)? 

Isn’t this an example of someone claiming God’s power to achieve any dream one wants? Again, the context provides the clarity. When Paul says, “I can do all things,” what are the “things” he is referring to? Philippians 4:11–12 provide the answer: “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through he who strengthens me.”

We must rejoice in the glorious reality that “with God all things are possible,” but we must never expect God to use his power to do our every bidding. He is sovereign over your salvation, your future, your career, your every breath. All things are possible for him, and he uses that ability to accomplish his own will. Yes, it is frustrating when we don’t know what God’s will is. We want the assurance that we will succeed in everything we do. We wish that God bent to our every whim. But this would be a disaster. If God used his power to accomplish my will, my life would end in disaster. I don’t know what is best for me, but God does. I must trust him to accomplish his will for my life, and I can be confident that he will do exactly that—because “with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26 "With God all things are possible."
Luke 1:37 "Nothing is impossible with God." 


May the Lord Bless your 2020.
