Impossible

"God waits until it's impossible before He does something."  So a dear friend said to me the other day, and it wasn't the first time the word impossible had come to my mind recently.  When I run out of imagination trying to figure out how God is going to make sense of my situation, that's when it looks impossible.  I just can't seem to come up with a good ending for this chapter of my life.  But then again, I'm not the one writing it, am I?

Why does God wait until it's impossible?  It's inconvenient, it's risky, it's painful, and well, it's annoying.  But it seems we humans need the reminder that we really aren't the ones writing our stories, and we rarely notice that until we run completely out of ideas.  That's when God steps in and does things beyond our wildest dreams (Ephesians 3:20).  "I never would have thought of that!" proves to us that God knows what He's doing far better than we do.  It's when He does what only God could do that He gets the full glory He deserves.  And that's what it's all about for us!

Do you really want to see God work? Well, is it impossible for you yet?  When it is, expect an unexpected miracle!  After all, life would be rather boring if the "impossible" never happened.  But thanks to God's perfect creativity, it does, all the time.

"What is impossible with men is possible with God."

Luke 18:27
