Nothing is Impossible

Building 429 sings, "We can rise above the typical and be anything but usual. We know, we know, we know that there's no such thing as impossible. And nothing is unreachable when we trust the God of miracles. We know, we know, we know that there's no such thing as impossible!" ("Impossible")

Matthew 19:26 backs up what they sing: "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'"

The central Scripture for tonight is Proverbs 25:4-5, which says, "Remove the dross from the silver, and out comes material for the silversmith; remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness." (NIV) We must remember to cling to God and allow Him to mend us and make us into better leaders and lead better lives overall.

Maxwell says, "But God gives every one of us a good enough start to be able to finish well. It's up to us to see to our character and build trust with others so that God can use our leadership." We must let God help us, but we must also remember that we need to take action and be responsible as well.

Things will not always be easy. We must continue on even when situations get tough. But we are never alone! Hebrews 13:5 tells us, "God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'" (NIV) Not only that, but God gives us strength and ability to go beyond ourselves because, as MercyMe sings, "Greater is the One living inside of me than he who is living in the world!"

Furthermore, Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do everything through Him Who gives me strength." (NIV) Trust in Him to provide for you, help you, and lead you. Rely on Him for these things so that you can effectively lead others.

Tonight's reflection question asks, "How are you working to fulfill your potential?" What are you doing with the gifts God has given you? Are you exercising them and refining them? Use your gifts for God's glory. Don't let them lie dormant. Pray to Him and ask Him to help you and lead you. Never underestimate the power of prayer, even a simple one!

No matter what we go through, God is with us! Remember, we serve the God of the impossible, and nothing is impossible with Him!

God bless you!
