I think every believer at some point will face an obstacle that seems impossible. Maybe it’s an illness. Maybe it’s relational turmoil. Maybe it’s a job loss. Whatever it is, it can feel like the end, like staring at a great abyss with no way over.

But the older I get, the more I’ve come to believe that God is a God who specializes in making the impossible possible. In fact, I heard a pastor say once that to God impossible isn’t even remotely difficult. It’s easy.

Perhaps, you and I need to stop staring at what we can’t do and start focusing on what God can do. Maybe we need to believe in faith for God’s provision and take the next step. We can start by praying for discernment over what that next step looks like. We can pray for wisdom, claiming the promise that God isn’t stingy in handing out wisdom but gives generously to those who ask.

I think above all we need to remember that as much as we as God’s children want God to do right by us, God as our Heavenly Father wants even more to give good things to us as His children even more so than any earthly parent. His idea of what is good for us may not always match what we think that should look like, but in the end it ends up being better and what we would have chosen had we known what He knows.

Trust in the God who makes a way through Red Seas. Trust in the God who walks on water. Trust in the God who raises up people out of the grave and makes them live again. Then you will see that nothing is really impossible for God.
