Anything Is Possible

 

He (Jesus) replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."  Matthew 17:20

In looking at the vastness of the starry sky this morning while on my morning jog, I couldn't help but feel pretty small in all of God’s wonderful creation.  There are times in my life when my faith seems a little smaller, but I know it’s still there.  Small mindedness is not such a bad thing, but being small minded in faith is bad because it prevents us from seeing the fullness and extent of God’s plan for our lives.

Most people are familiar with Jesus’ words from Matthew.  He was explaining to His disciples the reasons why they too could not cast out demons and cure diseases; it was because they had very little or were simply small-minded in their faith.   The disciples had lost their faith that Jesus would do what He said He would do.  When we doubt Jesus, we fail to see the big picture and only focus on our very limited capabilities.

Just like the disciples, so many of us as believers have also lost our faith.  Jesus reminds us that it doesn't take a lot, just a small amount of faith, the size of a mustard seed, for us to accomplish great and mighty things.

“Father, help grow our faith stronger and bolder.  I believe in you, God, but help me to believe even more!  I will seek to serve and trust in your never-ending supply of strength and power.  I ask these things in Jesus’ name.  Amen.”

"If you can?" said Jesus.  "Everything is possible for him who believes." Mark 9:29

I have been reading the story of how Jesus healed the demon-possessed boy in the Gospel of Mark this past week.  As always, God has revealed some powerful teachings to me through His Word.

When you hear that someone is praying for you, it almost sounds cliché.  Too often, we feel it's just the right thing to say to someone and often it’s the easy way out for some believers when hearing about someone else’s difficult situation.  The truth is-there is great power in faithful prayer.

Jesus' words from above do not mean that we can automatically obtain anything that we want if we just think positively.  What I believe Jesus was saying is that anything is possible if we believe, because there is nothing too difficult for God.

As I continue to grow and mature in my faith, I am learning that God doesn't just work like a magic genie either.  We simply cannot have everything we pray for as if by magic; but with faith, we can have everything we need to serve him while we are on this earth.

Allow yourself to step out on faith the next time you pray.  Believe with all of your might that God hears your cry and is greater than anything you are facing.  Remember, anything is possible!!

With God's help we will do mighty things.  Psalm 60:12

When I look back on problems that I have faced or trials that were extremely difficult, I have never felt like there was a single moment that God was not with me every step of the way.  If I am totally honest, losing my mother has been the most difficult and heart-wrenching event of my entire life.  While I am blessed that she was in my life for 40 years, I miss her every single day and would give anything to just be able to pick up the phone and hear her voice again.  I have come to the realization that I cannot make it on my own and have leaned on my faith more than ever the past several months...

Despite some insurmountable odds, the problems we face may seem too large for us to handle on our own.  The good news is that there is no problem, circumstance, crisis or situation larger than our Loving Father.

While impossible situations make you understand how limited your resources truly are and exhaust your strength, they set the stage for God to do the unimaginable-all by using His supernatural power to work miracles,  show His love, offer forgiveness, meet needs, and change lives.

Some situations seem impossible, but with God, anything is possible.
