Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’ Matthew 19:26, NIV

 

On 15 October this year, Elon Musk and his team at Tesla captured the world’s imagination when they unveiled the new Tesla Roadster at a SpaceX facility in Texas. What made it so extraordinary? The car can literally lift off the ground, spin through the air and land safely again!

 

It got me thinking about our faith. Before Abraham and Sarah, who would have believed that a 100-year-old man and a 90-year-old woman could become parents? Or that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego could be thrown into a blazing furnace and walk out alive without even a single hair on their heads singed? And what about Daniel? Who could have imagined that he would survive an entire night in a den full of lions?

 

In Matthew 19:26, Jesus says: 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'

 

Perhaps that is exactly what you need to hear today. Maybe you are trusting God for the healing of a loved one, the restoration of a relationship, or a way out of a financial crisis when you simply cannot see a solution.

 

The God who gave Abraham and Sarah a child, who brought three men safely out of a fire, and who protected Daniel from the lions is still the same God we worship today. What seems impossible to you is not impossible for God.

 

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you that you never change. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you and to continue trusting you for a breakthrough. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
