God Does The Impossible!

I shuffled through papers, listening to the claims processor explain..."We have an agreement with the lab company. They have agreed to take whatever payment they receive from the insurance companies."

I couldn't believe my ears. For weeks I had mulled through piles of denied insurance claims. The total bill for my routine blood work estimated in at (a little over) $4700.

"What do you mean?" I asked, still unconvinced.

She continued, "You will receive these explanation of benefits but you won't ever get a bill. We have an agreement with the lab companies to take whatever they get from your insurance company."

I couldn't believe it. All the weeks I had spent working with my insurance company...all the frustration I felt about my medical bills was gone...blotted out because of an agreement made.

As I left the doctor's billing department, I smiled. Thank You, God. Thank You! I immediately thought of our sin that was cancelled out because of the agreement made between the Father and the Son. Jesus' sacrifice covered it.

Psalm 103:11-13 says, "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him." (NIV)


Today, I am reminded once again, God does the impossible!!! He moves mountains. He fights our battles. He delivers us from ALL of our fears. Even more importantly...He blots out the record and penalty of our sins. Our transgressions are covered by His love and sacrifice.

God encourages us to bring Him every concern, every fear, every need...every desire, dream, and passion! We all know that we are here to serve Him...to bring Him glory...Our life is to be spent for Him! BUT the flip side to that is "God is at work in us desires that we might have life and live it abundantly!"

As you go through this weekend, I encourage you to remember--God can be trusted. He hears your prayers. So, Dream Big! Laugh Often! And remember, God has it all under control!!!
