So, as you also see impossible situations, I encourage and challenge you to take it to God who can handle our "impossibilities". Not that He always answers us the way that we think is the best, but God is faithful and answers. Even if it is a "no," He knows best. And His thoughts ARE higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). Do we trust Him enough to go out on a limb and simply ask with faith & boldness (Hebrews 4:14-16).
One of my pastors, Mike Erre, said in his sermon on Sunday, "Ask big and ask often." He reminded us that we don't annoy God when we come to Him persistently like the widow who kept approaching the Judge in Luke 18:1-8.
This song has encouraged me and wanted to share it with you as well.
Good post, friend. I was reading a commentary about that widow just this morning. The writer was saying that the widow wasn't just being a pest and being demanding, but that she kept bring what was her "legal right" before the judge. The commentary was about not ceasing to pray about things that legally belong to us from God. Thanks for some good meat in this post to think about! Love ya, friend!
