Empower the Impossible

A dad, who had watched his son suffer for years, was asking Jesus to have compassion and heal the boy.  Jesus’ response was, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” 

To which the man cries out with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

I can relate to that man so well!  I believe God can do anything.  Absolutely anything.  He created all things that exist.  There is nothing He cannot do.  But when it comes to something very personally important to me, my faith falters and sometimes fails.  

But Jesus said that if you have the power within to be able to believe, ALL THINGS have the power to be possible when you have faith in Him.  All you have to have is the ability to believe… to have faith in His ability.

So what I need to do is build up my faith muscle just like I build up my leg muscles in order to be able to endure a difficult run.  My faith muscle must be worked on regularly in order to grow strong enough to lift the really heavy things – with ease – up to God fully knowing He can do it.  Whatever it is!
