Week 7 - Humanly Impossible

Listening to this weeks sermon caused me to try and empathize with the way that Sarai and Abraham would be feeling when they heard from The Lord that they were going to be having a child after decades of trying and now sitting at ages 90 and 99. I realized there was no way I could understand their emotions. When I think of things in my life that are impossible now, they usually revolve around making a pro sports team or getting to bed at an early time, not something that is deemed HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE, like Sarai and Abraham's promise. So many times in my life, when something is deemed humanly impossible, I tend to count that situation out and never to see it done. By doing this, I subconsciously am saying that The Almighty God can't do it either. The salvation story is one area where something that was deemed humanly impossible, resurrection, was made possible through the promise of Christ. Why is it that I count out the possibility of a similar promise nowadays? The grace that Christ extends to us each and every moment should be deemed humanly impossible, yet Jesus never gives up on us. Trust in HIM Connor, as DJ states, "the promise maker is the promise keeper who can do the impossible". God exceeds all human skill and understanding. Contradicting the situation and exceeding human ability are true of all God has promised. I finally loved the phrase. "Trust Jesus' promises, they are all you need".
