Already, I’m delusional. I am sure I wrote this somewhere, and I cannot find it, so I am going to reproduce it today.

Day 2 of my Bible reading led me to Genesis 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD?

What could be more impossible than bringing life into and from the grave of an old woman’s womb?

• God becoming man?
• Raising Christ from the dead?
• Forgiving the sins of perpetual sinners?

Isaac was a type of Christ.

But, to Sarah, God asks, is anything too hard for the Lord? and the answer was, a baby!

To Mary, talking about Elizabeth being pregnant, the angel says

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Luke 1:37 KJV/BLB

When Jesus was explaining what the choices were, what the expectations were about His followers, His disciples asked “who then can be saved?” and His answer was:

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27 KJV/BLB

There are a few other references to Impossible –

Hebrews 6:4 and 18, but my favorite is Heb 11:6:

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

We are responsible to walk in faith – and that pleases God! But faith is impossible for us to have on our own…. Eph 2:8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Who gets this faith? everyone – Rom 12:3

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

A Promise out of a Rebuke: Matthew 17:20

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Therefore, we are responsible to some extent for our faith growth…and we even have that answer! Rom 10:17

So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

I am able to do anything when I am walking in faith… faith that has grown by hearing, and hearing the word of God.  It is first a gift, then it is my responsibility to nourish it and water it, and cause it to grow.  And in these last times, is there anything to difficult for God? And the only thing making things too difficult for me is my unbelief, so says Jesus.

May God find grace to pour out upon me, as I have laughed at things He has put before me.  I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me! Phil 4:13

Now on to day 3!

In His hands and under His wings,
