FAITHFUL WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE
>
>Then the Lord turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you
>shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?"
>-- JUDGES 6:14
>
>In Gideon's mind, victory over the Midianites was an impossibility, and he
>was absolutely right! The Midianites, along with their allies, overwhelmed
>the feeble Hebrews. Yet the moment God told Gideon to fight them, victory
>was no longer an impossibility! When Jesus commanded His small group of
>followers to make disciples of all nations, was that possible (Matt.
>28:19)?
>Certainly, if Jesus said it was! When Jesus told His disciples to love
>their
>enemies, was He being realistic? Of course, because He was the One who
>would
>achieve reconciliation through them (2 Cor. 5:19-20). Do you treat commands
>like these as implausible? Do you modify God's word to find an
>interpretation that seems reasonable to you? Don't discount what is
>possible
>with God (Phil. 4:13). When God gives an assignment, it is no longer an
>impossibility, but rather it is an absolute certainty. When God gives you a
>seemingly impossible task, the only thing preventing it from coming to pass
>is your disobedience. When God speaks, it can scare you to death! He will
>lead you to do things that are absolutely impossible in your own strength.
>But God will grant you victory, step by step, as you obey Him. How do you
>respond to assignments that seem impossible? Do you write them off as
>unattainable? Or do you immediately adjust your life to God's revelation,
>watching with anticipation to see how He will accomplish His purposes
>through your obedience? God wants to do the impossible through your life.
>All He requires is your obedience.
