Mark 9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
‘Why sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.’ Lewis Carroll.We were in a cafe some time ago which had decorated their table and chairs in the style of Alice in Wonderland and the above quote was written on the back of one of the chairs. (Tap the photo to see it better).
It really struck me as it made me think ‘Have I believed for even one impossible thing today, never mind before breakfast!😊
Do we maybe forget we have the privilege of being allowed to believe God to do the impossible for us each and every day. Maybe we relegate it to the super spiritual people to do it, or to those times when our backs are up against the wall and we desperately need an impossible miracle.
But Jesus doesn’t put a limit on how often or when we’re allowed to believe Him for the impossible. The only limitations are in our own minds and God says He can do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all we can ask or imagine according to the power at work in us. (Ephesians 3:29) That is a mind stretching thought as it means I could believe for not just 6 impossible things but 1006 impossible things before or after breakfast if I wanted to!😊
But if we haven’t been believing for much lately, how about having a think and going to the Lord and asking Him to help us believe Him for just one new thing to start off with, and then we can grow from there. The ball is really in our court because the invitation is to all of us, as often as we like. What a thought!
Would you like to grab a cuppa and join me, as I’m going to go and do some impossible thinking and believe God to make things happen because He said ‘all things are possible to him who believes.’😊 Thank You Lord.
