Who among us knows the future, and if we did, would we dream big
enough? I doubt it. God is able to use us in ways that are beyond
comprehension. Isaiah the prophet says...
Isa 55:8, ”For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” says Yahweh.
Isa 55:9, ”For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isa 55:10, For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
Isa 55:11, so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
Is there anything to hard for God to accomplish? Any obstacle too big?
Any problem to complex? Any time too long? Any power to strong for God
to overcome?
I think NOT!!!
Consider the letter from the imprisoned apostle Paul to the Christians at Phillippi...
Philippians 1 World English Bible
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Grace to you, and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
13 so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
Even while imprisoned, God could work through this little Jewish convert
to Christianity to change the WORLD!!! Think BIG, God does!!! With God,
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!! So, aim high and look for the BIGGEST
CHALLENGE OUT THERE!!! Who knows, you may just be the person God has
chosen to perform what other may think is beyond the realm of
possibility!!!
