Seek the impossible, for in this opportunity God’s Glory will be revealed.  The challenges that I may handle within my own power, authority, expertise and energy will only build faith in my capacity to achieve, in self-reliance.  Will the Lord God push us, yes?  Will He require more than we can muster, of course, why else do you think He saved us?  I do not know how this chapter will end, but I do know that if I wait, with patience upon the Will of God, I will see His Glory revealed through resolution.  Not that kind of solution or problem solving that I could produce but something beyond my artistic talent or creativity, a story written for me by Him.  I seek the miracle found only in a life given to His Sovereign Will.

He is the beginning, without an end.  The Creator of this, that and the other.  I know Him as a Kind Father and a Holy God, worthy of my respect, my honour, obedience and praise.  Not a thing of duty but of love.  He is perfection, He has all power, but needs not use it to be heard, followed or feared.  He is merciful, forgiving and forever True.  He provides, and conceals, trains, grows and educates with an eternal eye on the objective for each of our lives.  To my mind, He didn’t have to come, but I am certain that He doesn’t feel that way, for He loves us so much that He probably knew that He must.  He frees the captives, loves the unlovable and gives mercy to those least deserved of Grace.  His judgement will be final and all will give an accounting of their lives spent for Glory or Sin.  That seems fair and relieves me of the responsibility to criticize, judge, condemn or punish.  I am comfortable with Him being God and me being His man.  This is a good place to be.

What is next Father?  Why do you have so much hope in me?  How can you see a worth that evades my own understanding, for I often, frequently feel at the whim of my own weakness?  I just know this, that what is to be done will be accomplished for You have already overcome my oppressors, obstacles, enemies and even my own shortcomings.  You have provided a path upon which I may find success even in the midst of absolute failure, for Your Word says you will use all things for good for those who love you and walk according to Your purpose.  It is upon that path I will walk and await the miracles of your intervention in my life.  I will be sustained by your loving, kindness, your abundance and kept warm by the mustard seed of my faith in Your faithfulness to never leave me.  This is a good place to be.

Bless Your Holy Name.  For even if I fail wonderfully, Your Glory will be revealed  from the ash heap of my meager attempts.  And if by chance I do succeed, let if be known that it was all your doing, for that is the truth of my life.  Without You I can do nothing, with You the impossible is common place.  You sustain me.  Thank you Lord Jesus.
