~ Nothing is Impossible With God ~

"For nothing is impossible with God.”

Luke 1:37

Straight out of scripture this morning, this passage makes me want to shout! I will, however, refrain from shouting because my entire family is still sleeping at this moment and I don't know if they would share in my excitement at this very early hour. Lol!

I love reading the Christmas story! It is so dear to my heart but this particular passage shows just how powerful our God is. Let me back up and share a little more of it with you.....

"In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.  The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.  But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.  You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.  He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.  Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month.  For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord's servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her."

Luke 1:26-38 (NIV84)

So here you have the sweet young Mary finding out that she is going to carry the Messiah. She is not even married yet and is learning the news that she will give birth to the Son of God and that her relative, Elizabeth, who is on up in age and barren is also going to give birth. This is a big day in the life of this young girl!

What I love is how she doesn't argue, she doesn't doubt. She answers this way..."I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said." Wow! What faith and trust that if the Lord said it was to be, then it would happen. She believed that what was IMPOSSIBLE for man was POSSIBLE with God!

I want that kind of faith! I want that kind of trust!

Today, no matter how impossible your circumstances appear, God can turn humanly impossible into divinely possible! He is in control! He knows our needs and will take care of each and every detail. Have the faith and trust as Mary did that nothing was impossible for her God! I believe we will see miraculous things happen when the people of God stop doubting and BELIEVE! What an amazing day this is going to be! Hallelujah!
