Proverbs 23:7a, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” How limited we become when we allow our thoughts to stop short the plans God has for our future. It all begins with what we allow ourselves to think on. 

It’s statements like, “Well that’s impossible!” or “That will never happen!” that derail us from moving forward. It’s so important that when God shows you a portion of his plan for your future and it’s way bigger then anything you’re able to do, remember that NOTHING is impossible with God. It’s not the method you need to think on, it’s the God who gave you the vision that you need to focus on.

I loved Jesus’ response to impossible in Matthew 19:26; “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” In other words, take the limits off of God. Stop trying to humanize Him to your level of thinking and understanding. God is God and he always will be God. There is none like Him and no one that measures up to Him. His ways are not your ways nor are his thoughts like your thoughts. It’s time to stop trusting in your ability and begin trusting in His.

We are so used to solving our own problems! We spend so much time trying to figure out this way and that way instead of trusting in God to work it all out for us. When we become independent, we distance ourselves from our loving Heavenly Father who wants to bless us and work out things for us. If we would just spend time with Him and His Word, He would give us the wisdom needed to handle every situation.

I know there is nothing sweeter then when our children come to us and ask for our advise, bringing us a problem they can’t solve on their own and wanting our help figuring it out. Father God is like that! Jesus said, “How much more your Father in heaven wants to bless you.” We want Gods best! We want Him to care for us, but we sabotage ourselves by our thoughts. If we would begin to train ourselves to ‘cast down’ any thought that doesn’t line up with the Word of God and instead realize, we are God’s very own children and can do anything, nothing would be impossible. Let’s remove the word ‘impossible’ from our vocabulary.

Father, thank you for the reminder that you live on the inside of us and nothing is impossible for you, therefore nothing is impossible for us. We won’t rely on our ability, but on yours. We will not pridefully claim that we did it, we will give You the glory for it all. You are such a wonderful Father. So many good gifts you have for us, we just need to take the time to open them up and use them. For this we give you thanks. You are with us always, nothing is impossible because we trust in you. It’s in Jesus’ Name we thank you. Amen
