Is It Impossible For Me?

Scripture:

““This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small remnant of God’s people. But is it impossible for me? says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭8:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God was speaking through His prophet and telling the people how awesome the future would be with the new temple being built, but the people couldn’t see it after years of deportation.  He spoke to His people and said, “All this may seem impossible to you now, a small remnant of God’s people.  But is it impossible for Me?”

Application:

When we walk through difficult times, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and to think there is no way things will ever turn around.  It is easy to feel like things will never be good again in our lives, but God will drop us a word that says, Is it impossible for Me?  We must realize that nothing is impossible for our God.  He can change anything and everything.  We need to realize that God is capable changing any situation.  What looks impossible to us is totally within the realm of God’s ability.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, Increase my faith.  Help me to walk by faith and not by sight.  Teach me to trust You completely and to know that You can do anything.  Your power is greater than anything I can imagine.  Help me to never see a lost cause, but to know You are able.  Help me to see through eyes of faith and not by what the world sees.  You always worked through a remnant.

Yours,
Jeff
