Colossians 1:16
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
It is amazing what God has accomplished through the lives of those who follow Him. Could Joshua have dreamed the walls of Jericho would fall after a march, a trumpet blast, and a cry from the people? Could Simon Peter have imagined walking on water? Would Moses have expected to hold back the Red Sea? We serve a powerful God whose abilities and strength surpass our limited imaginations, and the exciting thing is that He often uses us in the process of getting the job done.
The same power that destroyed the mighty walls of Jericho, enabled Peter to walk on water, and divided the sea so the Israelites could cross on dry ground is still available to us. Our own power is limited to our mortal minds and bodies, but Matthew 19:26 tells us that “with God all things are possible.”
If you are facing a task that seems impossible, you may become discouraged if you try to accomplish it on your own. So ask God how He wants you to get the job done. You may be surprised at the creativity and resourcefulness God provides as He enables you to fulfill His calling.
A point to ponder…
All Christ power springs from communion with God and from the indwelling of divine grace.
