The Promise of Divine Possibility
“With God all things” changes everything about how we view life’s challenges. When human solutions fail and doors slam shut, this verse reminds us that impossibility only exists where God isn’t invited to work. The Creator of the universe specializes in situations that stump experts and defy logic.
Scripture Reading
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” – Matthew 19:26 (NIV)
The Dimensions of Divine Possibility
1. The Limits of Human Ability
Jesus spoke these words when:
- Disciples despaired about salvation (v. 25)
- Human effort failed to achieve righteousness
- Earthly resources proved inadequate
This remains true for:
- Broken relationships needing restoration
- Addictions requiring supernatural deliverance
- Dreams demanding divine intervention
2. The Boundless Nature of God’s Power
“All things” includes:
- Physical impossibilities (healing, provision)
- Relational miracles (reconciliation, forgiveness)
- Spiritual breakthroughs (salvation, transformation)
God’s power operates:
- Beyond natural laws (parting seas, raising dead)
- Through ordinary people (Moses’ staff, David’s stones)
- In perfect timing (not early, never late)
3. The Partnership of Faith
Divine possibility requires:
- Our surrender (acknowledging we can’t)
- Our belief (confessing God can)
- Our cooperation (stepping out in obedience)
This isn’t “name it and claim it” theology but:
- Aligned-with-God’s-will confidence (1 John 5:14)
- Persistent faith (Hebrews 11:6)
- Obedient action (James 2:26)
Living in God’s Possibilities
When facing impossibilities:
- Name them specifically in prayer
- Search Scripture for God’s promises
- Take faithful steps toward solutions
Remember:
- God’s methods may surprise you (Isaiah 55:8)
- Delays aren’t denials
- Your story isn’t over
Reflection Questions – With God All Things
- What “impossible” situation needs God’s touch?
- How have I seen God do the impossible before?
- What faithful step can I take today?
Prayer for Impossible Situations
Almighty God, I bring You [specific situation] that feels impossible. Forgive my doubt and limited vision. Help me see this through Your eyes of power and possibility. Give me wisdom to cooperate with Your work, patience to wait on Your timing, and faith to believe when I can’t see. May my life demonstrate that with You, nothing is impossible. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Final Thought: The impossible becomes inevitable when God enters the equation.
