Every day is a new day, filled with possibilities of new things to explore and do, new people to meet and hopefully, to touch their lives for Jesus Christ. Most of us, including me, get up every morning a little grumpy and not really wanting it to be morning. But, lately, God has been dealing with me about a new perspective He wants me to have. Each day that I have on this earth is a gift from the Heavenly Father, so I need to be thankful for it and look for ways in which I can serve Him and make His love known to others. For this elderly woman here, this seems impossible. But, not for God! He allows me to reach out and touch others using technology that was not even there when I was born. He allows me to have online friends with whom I can share the love of Jesus. He is allowing me daily to write a blog that I hope touches the hearts and minds of others. So, every day has its blessings and its challenges. Those of us who know the Lord and cling to the truth that is in His Word know that the challenges can never defeat us because the Lord is fighting right beside us.

I think that this Scripture has been misappropriated by many in the circle called “Name it and claim it.” They preach that we can pray for whatever we want or need to happen and God will answer. Well, I’m not a proponent of God being a genie in a bottle. I know that He is much bigger than that and I also know that He is not my servant. I am His! And as His servant, I am to look for opportunities to serve Him. It is within those opportunities, when I am doing His will, that I can ask and God will answer. He doesn’t send me a big car or a nicer home or any of those physical things that others seem to think is so important. No. He sends me His love and His desire for me to be a better person, to show that new person to others and to offer them His free gift of eternal life. You see, I guess that I have a simplified version of the Gospel. Jesus came to die for me and to set me free from sin. Now that I am free, I am to tell others about His great love and gift. In so doing, God will work out the impossible things that keep me from doing that which is His will. God is sovereign and can do the impossible at any time. We, however, need to know what it is that God wants us to do and start doing it. As we meet obstacles, that’s when God steps in and does the impossible. After all, He didn’t part the Red Sea until the Israelites were there and needed Him to do so. God is the God of the impossible and that makes anything possible in our lives. Isn’t that a wonderful truth to wake up to every morning? I hope you have a blessed day filled with God doing the impossible for you and your loved ones!
