Think hard: What can God not do (because He’s unable to)?

Roll back the clock at least several generations. And imagine.

Imagine a man and a woman, married for years. Never having had children. Because one or both of them couldn’t reproduce. Way past child-bearing age. Them, have a child now?

Imagine a young woman. A girl, really. Unmarried. Morally pure. She, have a child?

No. To both questions. Because such things are impossible. Period.

Well, not period. Comma. Hyphen. Elipsis. Or something. Just not period.

Because those two circumstances provide historical context for this:

“For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37).

Nothing?

Nothing!

Even today. And tomorrow.

Will I accept that for me?

I’ll try.

from Luke 1:38

A little bit more from Luke 1: JESUS

God had something He wanted me (and many billions of others) to know.

So He gave Luke the desire to compose for a certain Theophilus a compressed history of Jesus’ doings on this planet.

“That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed” (Luke 1:4).

Then He worked through Luke to produce a divinely-inspired (“breathed by God”) document.

For me! And you!

I am so glad for the inspired revelation of God’s will and ways. I am glad I can rest with certainty in its divine trustworthiness.

I want to grow in my living appreciation of it. I want to treasure it. I want to love reading it and meditating on it. I want my life to demonstrate the inspired Word of God.

from Luke 1:13
