Nothing is Impossible
And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Luke 1: 34-38
“How will this be?” Have you ever found yourself asking this question? God calls you to a seemingly impossible task or circumstance, and you immediately find yourself asking this question. It is in the call that we find ourselves questioning. We love the idea of the call, but the actual implementation of the call seems impossible. I have great news for you, your call is all about His glory. And His glory is sustained by His Spirit. Therefore, the pressure is not on you at all. It is God’s heart to see His children through!
When Mary asked “how,” the angel communicates to her the “Who,” more than the “how.” The answers to the impossible are only found in the Almighty. I wonder how many reading this are asking “how” instead of looking to the “Who.” It is when we gaze upon His face, and seek His presence, that we realize the “how” is important, but is irrelevant if the “Who” is not with us.
The angel declares nothing will be impossible for God. This is present and future tense. God can do anything, at anytime, for His glory and His name sake. What has God called you to? What has He spoke to you, that you find yourself trembling in doubt and questioning? He is a faithful Father. With Him, all things are possible.
