“The God of the Impossible”
As we move forward through the Christmas season, we realize even in the simple beginning of the story of Jesus’ conception and birth, God is a God of the impossible. God made an unlikely choice in choosing a poor, young woman. Her humble life seemed to make her an unlikely choice for such a great task.
We know that God is a God of the impossible because Gabriel tells Mary that she will conceive and give birth to a son. Mary is a virgin. She feels unworthy and unfit for such a role. Gabriel makes clear that all of this will happen through the Holy Spirit. Her response is “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” In all humility, she accepts what has been said to her.
We too feel unworthy, uneducated, unprepared, and unable to embrace our new future in Christ. We even feel this way about our health journey, but I must remind you that our God is a God of the impossible. We can accomplish everything he calls us to do.
I have lived this. If you had asked me five years ago what I would be doing five years later, the farthest thing I would have ever have believed would have been running a faith and fitness ministry like RetroFit. Six years ago, I was tipping the scale at 435 pounds. I had a hard time walking one block from my home to the church.
Our God is a God of the impossible. Jesus came so that we might have life and that life can be a healthy life. Let’s embrace the healthy life that Jesus has for us.
What greater expectation can we have this Christmas? Realize that Jesus brought to us the gift of eternal life and that life begins in the present. Life starts now.
Health Tip: Living healthy inspires possibility.
