“For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37, TLV
The Reality of the Impossible. The context of this verse is an angel announces to a young maiden — which culturally at that time was a virgin — that she was chosen to carry in her womb the salvation of the world. And still be a virgin. Impossible.
Sometimes we forget that God has done the impossible since the beginning of time. He spoke the Universe into being (Genesis 1).
A ninety-year-old woman who had never been pregnant, gets pregnant by her 100-year-old husband, and gives birth to a healthy boy (Genesis 21).
A young boy sold into slavery becomes the second most powerful ruler in Egypt and saves his family and the land (Genesis 41).
Because of a burning bush, an exiled prince, turned shepherd, became a somewhat reluctant prophet, led his people to freedom, and transcribed the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) the foundation of our faith.
Impossible for the Red Sea to part and the Jewish people to escape the Egyptians while walking on dry land (Exodus 41)? Of course.
Impossible becomes Reality.
Scriptures are packed with the impossible becoming reality. 
Sometimes we forget how awesome our Father — the Creator and King of the Universe — really is. Even Miriam (Mary) the soon to be mother of Yeshua (Jesus), needed to be reminded that nothing is impossible with God.
Does He always perform the impossible? That would be nice, wouldn’t it? But our God is not random. There is a purpose to everything He does or does not do, as wonderful and disappointing as that may be.
Think More About It
What impossible has God made possible in our life? If we not only take the time to think about the impossible that became possible, perhaps it would be easier to recognize the large and small miracles next time. Write them down — the past and those to come. Start a journal that contains these impossibles that became reality.
Begin with searching for the impossibles that became possible in the Bible—I’ve given just a few above—then add our own. The next time we feel hopeless about a situation, reading our Impossibles to Reality journal can build up our faith in our Father. Because He is our Creator who can speak anything He wants into existence. Halleluyah!
May we ponder the impossibles to reality, my friends.
Praying for Israel—Prayer Prompts
For the music director, to the tune of “The Death of the Son,” a psalm of David.
I will praise ADONAI [the LORD] with my whole heart.
I will tell about all Your wonders.
I will be glad and rejoice in You.
I will sing praise to Your Name, Elyon [GOD Most High]! Psalm 9:1-3, TLV
Praise in the midst of pain and grief is the most powerful of praise. As we pray with heavy hearts, we praise Elyon. We sing and worship. Because, His wonders are part of the pain. God bless you.
