THE "I" WORD

Ever had someone crush your dream? It sounds something like this: “What? You wanna do what? You gotta be kiddin’ me! You’re outta your mind!” Then they drop the I-bomb. They say, “That’s impossible!” It’s especially painful when someone we respect lets this ominous word slip out.

Well, I’m just stubborn enough, just old enough, just seasoned enough to quit paying attention to the word "impossible." God’s given me a filter for dismissing the I-word, because I know that with God, nothing is impossible!

Imagine how my mom and dad felt. When I was born, they were overwhelmed, big time. You can’t blame them! They couldn’t imagine having the strength and patience to take care of a limbless little boy. But God stepped in and graciously provided everything they needed.

What’s got you down today? What’s overwhelming you? What stands in your way today as an impossibility? Have you ever noticed the first two letters in the word impossible? Yeah, I-M. Me, me, me. It’s time to take your eyes off yourself and fix them on the only One who can conquer any challenge.

When you do this, you’ll discover the greatest power in all of life. With God, all things are possible. He can do it! That’s the reason we can say with full confidence, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
