"For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible."(Mark 10:27)
If we were to take a look at the things we now take for granted, how far back would we have to go before we find where the idea was deemed impossible. Airplanes, cars, cell phones, Skype, surgeries without knives, running water in homes. The list could go on. We anticipate progress all the time and live in a world where the impossible becomes possible and sometimes even actual.
My faith in a living God is what brings me joy in each new discovery. That God continues to reveal and unfold through out history. Endowing us with creativity and openness to new concepts, ideas and inventions.
Yet there are parts of our lives where I still run into folks telling me that God wouldn't do something, that it is impossible. Really? Or is it actually that we find the concept impossible, hard to stomach, goes against our cherished biases. God would never do anything we wouldn't imagine? Yet God constantly seems to reveal that there are real possibilities right in front of us, and sometimes they contradict what was once seen as possible or the boundaries that were seemingly cemented.
If we believe in a living God, then the word impossible should not be in our vocabulary.
Blessings,
