Luke 1:34-38 NIV
“’How will this be,’ Mary asked the angel, ‘since I am a virgin?’
The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.’
‘I am the Lord’s servant,’ Mary answered. ‘May your word to me be fulfilled.’ Then the angel left her.”
Gabriel speaks one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible, “For nothing is impossible with God.” He would know. Gabriel may have been there when God spoke light into being. He possibly watched as God painted the rainbow in the sky after the flood. He could have been witness to the Red Sea being parted or Daniel rescued from the lion’s den. Gabriel spoke with authority because he knew what God could do.
God is moving in our lives in ways that some may call impossible. I could write a book on all the ways He has shown up in my life in the most impossible ways. Nothing is too big for God. Nothing! Say it with me, “Nothing is impossible with God.” Regardless of how things look or what your past has been like, I tell you with authority, because I have seen what God can do, that nothing is impossible with God.
Our family is facing something scary and although I feel myself giving way to fear, I also know that nothing is impossible with God. I have peace. In the midst of uncertainty, I have a rock to lean on and He just happens to be the God of impossibilities. So my response to this storm is simply, “I am the Lord’s servant.”
