It’s Never Impossible…

Luke 9:13 But Jesus said, “You feed them…”

I just love Jesus! He gives such clear instruction. In this instance the disciples thought He was telling them to do something impossible. In reality Jesus had told them to do something that was difficult but not impossible. Jesus never asks us to do anything that is impossible.

So, Jesus demonstrated exactly how to have victory over a difficult task…

  1. He took what was available
  2. He put His trust in heaven as His source
  3. Prayed & commanded Blessing on what was in his hands

The result was that the little He held was multiplied and became more than enough to complete the task. It was a difficult task but it was not impossible.

It is easy for us to feel challenged by God’s Word and what it tells us to do. The fact is it may be difficult but it is never impossible.

When we feel this way we are to do as Jesus did…

  1. Take what is available
  2. Put our trust in Him as our source
  3. Pray & command Blessing on what we have

The result will be multiplication to achieve the task. We will have more than enough to complete it. Remember it may seem difficult but it will never be impossible.

Why not apply this truth in our lives from today on. I believe we will begin to see the miraculous take place and we will discover that nothing is impossible when we put our trust in God!

An Open Invitation…

John 6:19 “Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw JESUS walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.” [NASB]

I often have a huge list of things I need to get done. Then even more gets added. It is easy to get bogged down in the pressure of getting it all completed. In today’s verse the disciples are having a similar problem. They are on the sea with the wind blowing hard against them.  Most of the night they are rowing, fighting the sea and the storm, doing all they can in the natural to get to their goal.

Then they see JESUS!

How long had he been there? Quite possibly he’d been walking right near them all night and they hadn’t noticed. They had been so busy dealing with all their circumstances. As soon as they noticed JESUS, He stepped into their boat and everything was okay as they instantly arrived at their destination.

Here’s a powerful key to the future! Don’t get bogged down in the present and fail to invite JESUS into your future. Victory is having JESUS with you. He is keeping pace with you right now but you must acknowledge him and invite him on-board. You have paddled long enough by yourself… Let JESUS step into your boat today!
