A Possible Impossibility

Doesn't it annoy you when you find a quote but can't remember where? That's my predicament - so I'm sorry I can't give credit to the blog, book, person, etc where I found this. But it's simple:

"God Enjoys the Impossible"
-by some great person :)

That jumped out at me (from wherever it was hiding). I hadn't quite thought of it that way before :) Because honestly - I don't tend to enjoy the things in my life that I deem as impossible. Do you? But not our Magnificent, All-Powerful God! It's not that He likes things because they're impossible - but you guessed it - because the "im" part isn't in His vocabulary.

Wow - I needed that reminder! There are situations in my life that are impossible for me. My little brother Isreal, for one, whose life is chaos, confusion, and just very sad. I could never solve that. The challenge of EXCEL looming around the corner - I know I will get myself into some "impossible with me" situations (the heap of stuff that needs to get into two suitcases also can seem a little impossible at times :). The list could go on. But you get the point. The point is just like Matthew 10:27 states (and I liked it in The Message):

"Jesus was blunt: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself."

So while I'm dwelling on that - God is enjoying that fact that He gets the rest of the verse:

"Every chance in the world if you let God do it."

He sends us those impossible-to-us-situations so that we can in turn praise and glorify His name! For He enjoys making the impossible -- possible! <><
