Looking Through The Glasses of Possibility
God is a possibility God. All things are possible with Him. There is nothing that can be labeled as impossible with God because He doesn’t think that way. He only sees possibilities. Unfortunately, we as His children don’t always have this characteristic because we forget Who is helping us. God’s sees potential for success every time he looks at us. We must put on His glasses to see ourselves clearly as His children, walking in His ways.
Are you entangled in what you consider an impossible situation today? Has the doctor given you a bad report? Perhaps you have lost your job. Or you wonder where the money will come from to pay the bills. Is your marriage in need of repairing? Are your children not serving the Lord? All of these situations appear to be impossible of solution at times when we look at them as they appear in the natural world. God has different eyesight. He sees health and healing. He sees a new job. He sees bills being paid. He sees marriages being mended. He sees children as disciples taught of Him and obedient to His will (Isaiah 54:13).
How can we see as God sees? He has given us the solution. His Word is the way He looks at things. His Word says that with the stripes that wounded Jesus we are healed and made whole (Isaiah 53:4,5 and 1 Peter 2:24). His Word says that He has never seen the righteous forsaken nor His seed begging for bread (Psalm 37:25). His Word says that He supplies all our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). His Word says that husbands love their wives as Christ loved the church and wives respect and honor their husbands (Ephesians 5:25,33). His Word says that the seed of the righteous shall be delivered (Proverbs 11:21).
Perhaps, as you look at the natural circumstances, you do not see any physical manifestations of God’s Word. I know that can become very discouraging and disappointing. What do you see? You and I have to get past what we see with our physical eyes and hear with our physical ears. Only God’s Word will produce the victory in any situation in life.
Sometimes we have to get radical in our approach, regardless of what others may think about us. When things are the worst we have ever seen them, that is the time to press into the Word as we have never done before. It means that we can’t watch television; it means that we spend every waking moment we have with our mind engaged with the Word of God and our mouth confessing what we see in the Word. For us in our fleshly state of being in this earth, that seems really “far out” and difficult. The questions we must ask ourselves are these: How desperate am I for success? How much am I willing to do to achieve success? Am I willing to be called a fanatic? Am I willing to be mocked and “made fun of”? Am I willing to ignore the critical opinions of others regarding what I am doing as a fanatic with the Word of God? Yes, there is a price to pay for success. There is even a price to pay for success in the earthly realm for people who are not Christians, as they press for their goals to be accomplished.
Jesus paid the ultimate price with His life on the cross, so that our lives, yours and mine, could be lives of success. It all depends on our eyesight!
