Impossibilities Are His Delight

“We have a God who delights in impossibilities.” ~Andrew Murray

Now that is something to stop and think on.

There are many instances in our lives when, by instinct, we know what to do…Your reading an amazing book, and need to pause, you mark or save the page. Your writing something in Word, or Pages, and you save it (I always forget this, but that is just me.) You make sure you have your Drivers Permit before going out. Your cell phone is dead: you charge it. Your little brother is crying- you locate an ice cream bar.

There are just automatic responses to some things, but others: requires a second thought. The times when you debate with yourself about what is right, what your friend think, or how it will it affect you later. Those are the times when it gets harder, and when your first instinct, may not be the correct route to take, ya know what I mean? That’s why God tells us to ask Him when we don’t know what to do, and stop and think. “He Delights in impossibilities.” That means its His favorite thing to do! To reveal Himself to us and others around us-in the most miraculous ways.

Some choices will affect more then you know….and some bring pain, too. In times of grief or tough situations, we tend to forget this and just go for what ‘seems’ right. Pain blinds our perspectives and makes everything look fuzzy. That’s why instead of plowing ahead, we gotta think. And ask. And pray.



I walked a mile with Pleasure,

She chatted all the way;

But left me none the wiser

For all she had to say.



I walked a mile with Sorrow,

And ne’er a word said she;

But, oh, the things I learned from her

When sorrow walked with me



There’s something to add to the stash of insight ;)



Blessings,

Bri
