For with God nothing will be
impossible. Luke 1:37
The angel
Gabriel told Mary that God was planning to do something humanly impossible. All
human logic would agree that a virgin could not give birth to a child. It was
impossible. Yet this is exactly what was to happen. When God speaks of doing
the impossible, it is no longer absurd. When was the last time God did the
impossible in your life? When was the last time God spoke to you about what He
wanted to do and you were scared to death by its magnitude?
God still
does the impossible! Too often we acknowledge our belief that God can do
whatever He wants, then we add a safety clause: “But I just don’t think God
will do that with me!” We become practical atheists, believing that God
can perform miracles but never expecting a miracle in our own lives.
God
wanted to bring salvation to all of humanity. It is critical that Mary not only
believed God could perform a miracle but also adjusted her life to the awesome
work He planned to do through her. The difference between a Christian and a
moral person is the divine. The difference between a church and a social club
is the miraculous. Some can duplicate the morality of a Christian, but no one
can reproduce the miraculous that should be a part of the Christian experience.
Do you believe that nothing is impossible for God?
