"For nothing will be impossible with God." (Luke 1:13 NASB)
Photographs are great reminders of things that are somewhere deep in your memory, but are brought to mind when the photo brings it back to life. This particular photo is a very special one. It was a banner day in my journey to stroke recovery. On that day in 2017, I was so blessed and thankful to be able to once again lead our Life Group Bible study. A thing that had once seemed impossible following my stroke.
That memory is especially important to me now that we are dealing with my husband’s cancer diagnosis. And once again I am reminded that nothing is impossible with God.
On that day in 2017 we were studying in the Old Testament book of Ruth. We spent a lot of our time talking about Naomi. If you haven't read it lately, take some time to read Ruth chapter 1. Naomi's story is a sad story. There was a famine. They had no food so Naomi and her family had to relocate to a foreign country. While they were living in the foreign country, her husband died. Then both her sons died. It's a really sad story.
But God made a way for Naomi. God provided exactly what Naomi needed.
Just as God has provided everything I have needed to get through the challenges I have in my post-stroke life. And just as God will provide everything we need in this cancer journey.
Your story may not be exactly like Naomi's story. Or exactly like my story. Or like Al’s story. But you have a story. Each of us has challenges and trials and difficult circumstances to deal with. We all have a story. We all have "stuff" to deal with.
God provided everything Naomi needed to deal with the challenges of her life. He has provided everything I have needed to face the challenges of my life.
And He is able to do the same for you.
Because nothing is impossible with God!
"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen" (Ephesians 3:20)

Yes, He's able to do all. He doesn't need our help just the prayers.
