The Plausible Impossible

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." - Ephesians 3:20-21

I've been reminded several times lately of how with God all things are possible.

Reading the Lineage of Grace series by Francine Rivers has been really great! The faith of the five women highlighted including Ruth, Rahab, Tamar and Mary (I haven't read Bathsheba yet) has really encouraged me and taught me a lot about leaning on God. The most recent book that I read about Rahab describes a Canaanite (non-Jewish) prostitute who decides to shelter two Jewish spies because she believed that putting her faith in God (the God of the Jews) was so much more worthy than placing her faith in her King. As the story unfolds you see God parting the Jordan River, crumbling the mighty walls of Jericho, and even grafting Rahab, the non-Jewish prostitute into the genealogy of Jesus because of her great faith. Amazing!

Incidentally I then watched a movie called "Facing the Giants". I really expected it to be a typical feel good sports movie that we just picked up at the local DVD store, but it turned out to be a feel good Christian sports movie. The acting really wasn't that good and there were quite a few "cheesy" lines, but both Ray and I finished watching the movie and really felt like God had spoken to us through the movie. I definitely left the movie with the line "Nothing is impossible with God!" running through my mind the whole time.

I guess all of my problems seem so small and little in the hands of our Almighty God, Creator of Everything! Like clay in a potter's hand!
