“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

There once was an Episcopal bishop in Ohio who stood in his pulpit and declared that flying through the air was both impossible and against the will of God.

It seems, though, that Bishop Wright’s sons, Orville and Wilbur, didn’t think much of their father’s pronouncement…they invented the airplane anyway!

Have you ever felt strongly that something was impossible? Philippians 4:13 says “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” It doesn’t say some things. It says all things.

Most would have said it was impossible for Sarah to have Isaac in her 90s. That it was impossible for Jonah to survive three days in the belly of a fish only to be spat out exactly where he was supposed to be.

And that Jesus’ death and resurrection was impossible…only for Him to die and rise again so that you might have a relationship with God!

If you have an obstacle in your life you aren’t sure you can overcome, don’t be discouraged. Take heart because God can do the impossible! Trust in this promise today.

Prayer Challenge: Thank God that through Him all things are possible and ask for His power to do the impossible in your life today!
