Luke 1:37
For with God nothing will be impossible.
Before I even knew what the passage was for today's reading I watch "Facing the Giants" twice. I'm thinking I need to make that my newest New Years Day tradition. Near the end there is a scene of the coach talking to his team in the locker room after winning the champoinship and asking the players what is impossible for God. "Nothing!" I know it's just a fictional movie. But the point, the message of this movie expresses the truth of this very verse.
If I want anything for my life in 2009, it's to live with that kind of faith. Zacharias, as a priest, knew the historical instances of God doing the "impossible" for Israel. Yet even though he prayed for a child, he doubted that God would do the impossible in his own life by giving him a son. God made him mute until his son was born.
My focus needs to be squarely on doing my best for God and honoring Him in all I do and always with my best effort. Not that my strength will win any battles. But through me, if it will be for God's glory, He will do the impossible. Broken down van. Nothing is impossible for God. Skinny balance in the checking account while bills seem to constantly come in. Nothing is impossible for God. People I know or work with who have no interest in God. Nothing is impossible for God.
I serve an awesome God, the Creator of the universe. Nothing is impossible for God.
