About
living in spite of the impossible…
Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own. (NIV)
All
of us live with circumstances we might consider to be impossible. Even if others
might not think our circumstances are impossible, in our own minds and hearts,
we can see what looks like an impossible circumstance with no solution, no way
out, no way of winning, and no way to survive, let alone prosper. When you face
the impossible, you must make up your mind to live in spite of the circumstance.
To live with the impossible, you must learn to live only one moment at a time.
Realistically, you cannot live in the past minute and you cannot live in the
next minute. You can only live now. Realistically, you are surviving and living
now. Even when you live with the impossible, you are still surviving and living
now. To fully live in spite of the impossible and to do more than just survive,
keep your mind and heart focused on the here and now, not on what was in the
past, and not on what might happen in the future. In the here and now, while you
are fully living in spite of the impossible, you can make plans for the future
and carry out those plans. In the here and now, while you are fully living in
spite of the impossible, you have within you the power of God if you choose to
let Him be with you. In the here and now, while you are fully living in spite of
the impossible, you have someone to live for if you will open your heart to His
touch. In the here and now, look around you and see the beauty of life amidst
the ugliness. In the here and now, look up and see your Promised Land, a place
called Heaven that is not impossible.
