The Impossible Becomes Possible

Micah 6:8 says, "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." (NIV)

WHEW! What a powerful verse!

Sometimes the reality of what I can actually offer God is more painfully evident than other times. Lately, I am constantly reminded that the only thing I can really offer God is my love for Him...and even that has been in response to His grace moving in me. But, there's something in that revelation that is incredibly freeing!

Abundant living begins when we realize that:
  • God doesn't call us to accomplish and achieve but to surrender and obey.
  • He doesn't require us to know ALL the answers, instead He asks us to simply follow.
  • He doesn't expect us to come up with a huge lofty vision or conjure up lofty faith, instead He asks us to simply align our life with what He calls us to.
The impossible becomes possible with God!

I don't know about you, but my prayer in this New Year is to live Micah 6:8--by God's grace I will act justly, love mercy, and  walk humbly with my God. I know that apart from God's grace this mission would be impossible...BUT...thankfully Jesus promised, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." (Luke 18:27, NIV)

So, how about you? What do you need to believe God for in this new year? What mountains do you face? What insurmountable opposition or giants hurl impossibilities in your direction?

Friend, whatever they are, remember--YOU ARE NOT ALONE! GOD is NEAR! HE is FAITHFUL! HE is GOOD!

Our impossibles become possible when aligned with God's will!
