"The things which are impossible for men are possible with God." Luke 18:27
Way back on day 25 I had the Matthew equivalent of this verse as my text. In that entry [http://redlettersblackletters.blogspot.com/2014/07/day-25-lucky-for-us.html] I laid out the context of this proclamation, if you want to refer back to that one, be my guest, but today I want to instead take the verse at face value.
There is a whole host of things that are impossible for humans to accomplish and even more things that are impossible for individuals, like you or me, to do. In these moments we turn to verses such as this and call on God's supernatural help. At times what we wanted/needed to be accomplished, somehow, someway was and we lift a praise to God.
At other times what we wanted/needed to be accomplished does not happen and it often leads us to question God. Instead, perhaps, we should be questioning ourselves. Was what we wanted/needed accomplished for ourselves or for others? For ourselves or for kingdom purposes? A call of God or just something from our head/heart/gut?
The problem is that there are times when things that seem godly don't work out and times when the ungodly do.
+ How do you think of this verse/statement/promise?
+ How do you handle it when you don't get what you pray for?
