Godpossible

~I am constantly amazed at the seemingly impossible things that happen in this life. In today's world it seems that we are prone to explain it all away by science and forget to give credit to God for so many amazing things that are impossible, except for with God... in as much, they are "Godpossible."

Consider it Godpossible
Genesis 37:1-38:30

"Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, but his father thought about what all these things could mean." (Genesis 37:11)

In the familiar story about "Joseph the Dreamer," I never paid much attention to this verse about his father, until pointed out by a visiting pastor from Oaxaca. After scolding Joseph for his dream, he actually considers the possibility. What could it mean? Could it be possible? I know my parents wondered many times at the crazy twists and turns they saw my life taking, but they also considered what was happening, the choices I was making and allowed me to follow God's leading. A quiet little girl, going off on her own to Brazil, it just seems crazy. But, God, You give me the strength to do Your will. May I always have the courage to follow Your will for my life, when it sometimes impossible.

Learning it's Godpossible
Psalm 9:11-20

"Lord, rise up and judge the nations. Don't let people think they are strong. Teach them to fear you, Lord. The nations must learn that they are only human." (Psalm 9:19-20)

Sometimes I need to learn it the hard way... that I can't tackle things on my own. I think a lot of people have learn things the hard way. We take the wrong road (straying from God), and we then recognize that we need God to get us back on track. When confronted with really big problems and troubles, God shows me that I am only human. It is only God who saves me from myself. You are the center of my life, and when I forget that, You teach me that You are the only one that makes all things possible.

Using the Godpossible
Matthew 13:1-30

"But what is the seed that fell on the good ground? That seed is like the person who hears the teaching and understands it. That person grows and produces fruit, sometimes a hundred times more, sometimes sixty times more, and sometimes thirty times more." (Matthew 13:23)

Great and amazing things are possible with God. Hopefully we are all this seed on the good ground. With this great fortune comes great responsibility. We must continue to grow spiritually and produce fruit. Lord, guide me as I reflect on Your vision for my life this year: in the spiritual disciplines, professional life, personal relationships, professional relationships, church involvement and community involvement. Let me produce fruit for Your glory, Lord.
