Anything is Possible

Ever take a wrong turn or find yourself traveling down a street with a sign that reads, “DEAD END: No Outlet”? Well, with God, there are always outlets. God has a way of building our faith by planting a dream within us. Yet, that dream will require a decision of faith, and then God will stretch our faith as we face delays, difficulties, and dead ends. It is then – after the delays, difficulties, and dead ends – that God comes in and delivers. God does a miracle. God provides a solution. For instance: In Moses' case, God parted the Red Sea…In Abraham's case, he and Sarah miraculously conceived a child…In Joseph's case, all of a sudden his dream came true, and he found himself no longer imprisoned in a dungeon; instead, he was the second in command in Egypt.

Jesus was even resurrected! God can even turn a crucifixion into a resurrection, and that means he has the power to transform your dead ends into deliverance. He builds your faith through delays, difficulties, and dead ends, so that when he delivers you—God gets all the credit!

When faced with a dead end, the best response is to expect God to act. What are you expecting God to do in your life? Jesus says, "According to your faith will it be done to you." (Matthew 9:29)

When you wait for deliverance, then God gets the credit. And you can look back to see how God led you through a path of faith, expanding and increasing your trust of him with every step. Your faith is stronger, and now you can say with confidence: "I am expecting the Lord to rescue me again, so that once again, I will see his goodness to me . . ." (Psalm 27:13)

One more scripture from God’s Word to encourage you to know that anything – that all things – are possible with God. "What do you mean, 'If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes." Mark 9:23 NLT
