What's our excuse?
Why do we hold fast to some Scripture and believe it so fiercely, and act as if other Scripture doesn't apply to us, or couldn't be entirely true? What if we were to believe it all and live our life to that extent? Would we be setting ourselves up for ridicule? Perhaps.
But in the end it wouldn't matter. When you stand before your Creator, wouldn't you like to be able to say, "I thought you meant it"?
This week I was faced with this verse again:
"...with God all things are possible." (Matt 19:26b)
Beyond this being Scripture, these are the very words of Jesus. I mean...
Let's analyze this verse...
First -- what is possible? All things.
Second -- All things are what? Possible.
What's missing here? Well...
"Some." "A few." "Not." "Im-."
Don't you get it?
ALL
THINGS
ARE
POSSIBLE
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That dream of yours. That's possible.
That situation that is just beyond your reach. That's possible.
That thing that you don't feel equipped to do. That's possible.
That "unsavable" person saved. That's possible.
That broken relationship healed. That's possible.
That overwhelming financial situation no longer an issue. That's possible.
That bondage in your life left far behind you. That's possible.
Believe me now or believe me later...
"With God all things are possible." (Don't forget the first part. Very important.)
Can we make a pact together? Can we agree that we will start living as if we believe this simple truth? What then?
Revolution.
