Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”

--Mark 10:27

Are you facing an impossible situation in your life right now?

Maybe your relationship with your spouse or child seems like it’s damaged beyond repair. Or perhaps you feel like your financial situation will never recover. Or maybe you’re questioning whether your health will ever be the same as it once was.

Whatever you may be going through today, let me assure you of this: God delights in using impossible situations like yours to display His power and glory.

Today…if you’re in a dead-end, nowhere-to-run, hopeless, impossible, helpless situation…you’re a prime candidate for the power of God to move in your life. Don’t say, “My life, my home, my family, my future is impossible,” because as Jesus says in today’s verse, “All things are possible with God.”

Remember the man who Jesus healed at the pool in Bethesda? He had been paralyzed for 38 years! Nothing anyone had done in all that time had helped this poor, crippled man. Can you imagine the feelings of despair and hopelessness that this man must have struggled with all that time?

Yet in Jesus’ divine and perfect plan, He chose to do something powerful and wonderful in this man’s life. And He can do the same in yours!

In the midst of hopeless situations, there’s nothing that would please the evil one more than for you to throw up your hands in despair…for you to say, “That’s it, I quit!” But remember what Galatians 6:9 says: “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

No matter what you may be going through today, please don’t grow weary. Please don’t give up. Wait on the Lord…and remember that all things…even the most hopeless things… are possible with God!

if you’re in a hopeless situation today, you’re a prime candidate for the power of god to move in your life!
