GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

There are Scriptures we hear quoted time and again until they sound rather cliche.Some are used too often; we easily lose the heavy meaning they carry. One such is Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Yesterday, we meditated on this verse with reference to Daniel 2:1-28.This is the story of King Nebuchadnezzar and his weird,or let's call it interesting dream.

If you ask me, the dream was a difficult one to crack but the dreamer was twice difficult to deal with.How do you ask people to tell you what you dreamt and even interpret it for you..Yet you are the one who dreamt?! Is it even possible?
5 The king replied to the astrologers, “This is what I have firmly decided: If you do not tell me what my dream was and interpret it, I will have you cut into pieces and your houses turned into piles of rubble.    6 But if you tell me the dream and explain it, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and interpret it for me.”
When Daniel learnt of the King's decree he asked for time and then sought his three friends
18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
That night, God answered and revealed the mystery to Daniel.This saved them all from being executed as the king had promised.
27 Daniel replied, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, 28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.
I have heard the English men say that it is not over until the fat lady sings and maybe in your situation it feels like she sang already.I wish to remind you that with God,it is not over.In Daniel's time,it seemed over.The decree that they all be killed had already been issued.But God turned it all around for them.He surely is God of the impossible(or should I say impossicant as one of my friends says) It will only be over when God says it is.

I write this to someone in an impossible situation.I remind you that there is a God in Heaven.God of the impossible.What is impossible to man is possible with Him.Don't Give up.He will see you through.He will turn your story around.
