Even When It Seems Impossible

In scripture Abraham was known as the father of our faith. But he had many obstacles coming against the promise of God in his life. God told him that he would be “the father of many nations.” Abraham was over 90 years old before this came to pass. But the bible says that he didn’t think about all the reasons he couldn’t be what God promised. No, it says he was strengthened in faith and fully convinced that what God had promised He was also able to perform. It was Abraham’s faith that enabled God to move on his behalf and fulfill that promise.

Sometimes when God gives you a promise it may seem impossible. But you have to remember that ALL things are possible with God. You and He are a majority no matter what people may tell you. Once you get in agreement with Him you will see that promise come to pass!

And while waiting on this promise don’t be surprised if you encounter uncomfortable challenges; people who are hard to get along with or circumstances that seem unbearable. When this happens, instead of complaining or trying to control everything around you, learn to accept it the way God intended – to strengthen and prepare you for greater blessings. God is more interested in developing our character than coddling us. People who get babied tend to stay immature and fragile. If you choose to stay bitter because you don’t get your way or discouraged because things aren't happening on your timetable then get ready to stay right where you are, going through the same ol’ junk.

If you want to see positive change the key is to believe God for His promises even when it seems too difficult. God never calls you to do something He doesn’t empower you for.  You can’t wait until everything gets better before you decide to have a good attitude. You have to be the best that you can be right where you are and know that it’s only a test. God is only allowing these circumstances to train you for a higher position; making you more mature and stable enough to wisely manage the great things He wants to bring into your life.

Today, what are you believing God for? Does it seem impossible? Do like Abraham and consider your God instead of your circumstances. You’ll grow stronger in faith just as he did and your faith will open the door for God to move in your life. If you will stay focused on the power of your God rather than your obstacles you will see Him overcome your situation, remove those obstacles and you will experience the amazing level of abundance and peace He has in store for you!
