Wednesday's Word

There is an old saying, “If you think you can’t, then you can’t.” Our fears, our ignorance, our lack of confidence can become self fulfilling prophecies. Our Faith in Christ is a call to think beyond what we know and, of course, beyond what we can do.

We cannot set a limit to what God can do.

You remember the story of Lazarus, in which Jesus, after crying, went to the tomb and called Lazarus back to this life. Mary and Martha had buried their brother Lazarus. They believed in the resurrection, but knew that at least in this life they would never see their brother again. But Jesus came back and when he arrived the entire future changed.

This was a very unique event in human history. But the principle of always being open to the impossible where God is involved holds true in all of our lives. Don’t limit your life to what you know or can control. Trust in God to open doors you thought were closed or didn’t even know existed. Let your world be one in which you trust God’s way and will. Let me change that old saying to, “If you believe you can, then it just might be possible.”

May God bless you and yours,
