Look to God

“With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
MARK 10:27

When you encounter a difficult situation in life that looks impossible, what is the first thing you think? For most people, it is, “Oh Lord, what am I going to do?” But that’s the wrong question. Instead, the right thing to ask is, “Lord, what are You going to do?” Because, as we are well aware, He is all-powerful, and nothing is too challenging for Him.

Of course, all of us know that in our minds. But often, when our back is against the wall and we don’t know where to turn, we become gripped by the immensity of our predicaments and the disconcerting details that accompany them. It’s natural for us to immediately envision the worst-case scenarios and how helpless we are with our limited resources. We become trapped by what we see and hear rather than recall who comes to our aid.

This is why we must train ourselves to look to the Lord rather than our circumstances. Because when we invite the supernatural, powerful presence of the living God to take hold of our situation, He deals with our difficulties in ways far beyond our imagination. He can get us to the right solution regardless of what we face.

Jesus, I fix my eyes on You, grateful that my challenges are no match for You. Amen.
