When the impossible dares you

The only time you see the word ‘impossible’ in God’s dictionary is when it is used with respect to him changing his nature or engaging in sin e.g. Heb 6:18 says “it is impossible for God to lie”. When we use the word ‘impossible’, we refer to things that we believe are beyond our physical ability and mental capacity. However, we are supposed to see things like God sees them because Jesus has made God’s ability available to us. Has God ever provided $10 for you? Then he can also provide $100 million. It doesn’t cost God an extra strength to go an extra mile with you. The measure of power (if quantifiable) that heals headache heals AIDS. The same gospel that saves a soul can deliver a million lives. If you have ever trusted God for what you call “small” and you got it, you need the same quality of trust for what you label as “big”. God’s power respects no labels. This was the principle David used when Goliath dared the Israelites. He said “the Lord who saved me from the claws of the lion and the bear will save me from this Philistine" (I Sam 17:37). When the so called impossible things flashes at you, approach them with the same faith and attitude you used to approach what you called possible, because that is what it is in reality.
