Nothing is Impossible - November 29, 2006
"For with God nothing will be impossible." Luke 1:37
During our prayer meeting, a friend started sharing the Bible in Luke 1:36-37 about the miracle God did to Elizabeth when she became pregnant. She was reading verse 36, "Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was..." The friend stopped to unfold the Bible page that was hiding the rest of the verse. During that little pause, we ventured to complete the verse saying, "who was barren." The friend then resumed stressing, who was called barren.
What a huge difference! Through the word "called," God is declaring that Elizabeth, in His eyes, is a perfect woman regardless of and no matter what she is called by humans. She was His precious daughter. The way He sees her is the way she is. In due time and for His glory, He granted her the gift of a child to fulfill His plan for her life.
Sometimes, we may fall under the category of who was called. -- timid, abandoned, weak, etc. Friend, know that God looks to you through Jesus' eyes, not through people's eyes. Through Jesus' eyes, you are the precious son/daughter of the King of Kings through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ. You are created for a significant purpose to glorify God. In His own time and in His own ways that are far beyond our understanding, He mightily reveals how He sees you, rendering human wisdom foolishness, bringing glory to Himself and fulfilling His awesome plan to your life, exactly as He did with Elizabeth, and exactly as declared in the following verse 37 "For with God nothing will be impossible."
Suggested prayer: Father, during the USA's Thanksgiving season, we thank You for Your precious gift Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Blood, we who call upon Your name are Your precious children. Thank You, for our value is in You and through You and sealed by Your Spirit forever. Thank You for being the God of all the impossibles. We have faith that only the way You see us is the way we are to be. Amen
