Those of us in the prime of life have seen wonders, miracles, and accomplishments beyond what we would ever have imagined when we were youngsters. I\u2019ve been here long enough to have witnessed medical breakthroughs, major problems solved, and inventions that have made life better for us and now it\u2019s hard to imagine ever living without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NEVER should we EVER say: \u201cIt can\u2019t be done\u201d or \u201cI can\u2019t do that” or ANYTHING when God says: \u201cIs there anything too hard for me?\u201d (Genesis 18:14)
Perhaps you are facing a seemingly impossible situation \u2013 perhaps what seems to be an irretrievable breakdown in a relationship; a serious health issue; an almost impossible challenge in your job; a habit or addiction that you are finding too hard to break. Whatever challenges you may face in this year ahead, nothing is too hard for the Lord.
Abraham was a hundred years old. His wife, Sarah, was ninety. God promised them a son. They both said: \u201c’That is impossible.\u201d This is the context of the rhetorical question: ‘Is anything too hard for the Lord?’ The answer is \u201cNo\u201d. If Sarah could conceive when already very old, and past the age of childbearing, then nothing is too hard for the Lord.\u201d And in this present day, I have many friends who were told they would never be able to conceive, but today they have beautiful children — born naturally.
I saw these examples of what seemed to be an impossibility years ago. How absurd for anyone to question or doubt ANYTHING can be done by a non-quitter:
\u2022 In 1873, Sir John Ericksen, the Surgeon to Queen Victoria, said, \u201cThe abdomen, the chest, and the brain will forever be shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon.\u201d
\u2022 In 1876, American president Rutherford B. Hayes asked Alexander Graham Bell, \u201cThe telephone is an amazing invention, but who would ever want to use one?\u201d
\u2022 In 1895, Albert Einstein\u2019s high school teacher said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what he does; he will never amount to anything.\u201d
\u2022 In 1939, The New York Times proclaimed, \u201cThe problem with television is that the people must sit and keep their eyes glued on a screen; the average American family hasn\u2019t time for it.\u201d
\u2022 In 1949, mathematician John von Neumann said, \u201cIt would appear that we have reached the limits of what is possible to achieve with computer technology.\u201d
And, look at us now! The 20th century began with the infancy of automobiles, airplanes, TV and radio, when those inventions dazzled us with their novelty and wonder. We ended the 20th century with spaceships, computers, cell phones, and the wireless Internet all being technologies we take for granted.
How blessed we are that so many winners didn’t quit their projects! Of course, all these wonders are because of God partnering with His people. He has had a hand in everything that has been invented, created, or devised. How easy it is to forget that we have a Holy Partner in our personal and professional lives, too. We don’t have to go it alone in our drive and determination. We have the Creator of the Universe as our partner.
We know “Nothing is impossible with God,” but we shouldn’t have the attitude of “Let’s wait and see what God will do”. We do our part and our part is to believe that God, our PARTNER, has a perfect plan for our lives. Let’s take the limits off our faith and a never-giving-up attitude. Let\u2019s give up every doubt in His desire to see us blessed. Nothing is too hard for God and when we place our faith and trust in Him, He gives us wisdom, ideas, creativity, and witty inventions. It really can be done because \u201cnothing is too hard for our God\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
