Mission Impossible
Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (NRSV)
Sometimes it can feel as though all this spiritual stuff, God stuff, Jesus stuff sits neatly over here in one box, but life with all its chaos and carry on is out of control out there somewhere. That’s how it may seem, but that’s not how it is.
All too often we’re confronted by the impossible. For some it’s crippling debt, for others hunger or homelessness, or fear or a marriage on the brink or … whatever it may be.
It seems sometimes that life is one big … mission impossible.
In fact, if I asked you, “Right now in your life, what is your mission impossible?” I’m sure you’d have an answer. So there’s something I’d like to share with you, something that I believe God wants to speak into your “mission impossible” today … listen carefully, drink it in, because it is the very Word of God:
Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (NRSV)
That very thing that seems impossible to us is more than possible for God.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
So – here’s some homework. I want you to decide for yourself whether that’s true or not. And there’s only one way to find out. Take your mission impossible to God, ask Him to help and see what happens.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
Blessed by this devotion?

As a woman who made a mistake attending college in the us and took out 100k in student loans it seems impossible right now due to and have a chronic Illness. I look to the lord for strength because I am getting older and have no 401k pension nothing which makes me scared for the future. I am trying to move forward but find myself hopeless for cutting my future short in debt

He’s the Mighty GOD. The Great I AM THAT I AM. Is there anything too hard for Him? No nothing is too hard, difficult or trivial for JEHOVAH LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. I’m a living witness that GOD is Good. OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT AND OMNIPRESENT GOD. All glory to Him. Amen.

This is so timely, I feel this way at the moment, I have a lot to do (being mum, home life, studying, marriage issues), and it all feels too much. I feel like it’s ground hog day, wake up, get on the roller coaster all day, go to bed (so tired), and then wake up and do it all again !!!
Thank you Berni for speaking God’s Word into our lives and for your words of encouragement (tough to hear sometimes but we need it). Thank you for reminding me to take our MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to the GOD who knows and holds us, and HE finds nothing impossible – ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD : ) Thank you !
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !!!
