Do You Get It?

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Luke 1:37

Reading:

Luke 1:30-38

This passage comprises the second half of the International Bible Study for this coming Sunday.

I found two “gems” for me that certainly speak to the inner turmoil with which I awoke:

“With God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37) — Have I sufficient faith to rest in that and to live by that?

“Be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38) — Do I trust God enough to yield to His unexpected ways and plans?

So often, I do not understand (nor enjoy) God’s ways, but I yield to them. (There’s a lot behind that, but I’m not going to get that personal on the Internet!)

The Scriptures say in Luke 1:37 -- With God nothing shall be impossible
from Luke 1:37

A Warning to Me?

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 8:12

Reading:

Matthew 8:1-17

“When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him” (Matthew 8:1).

Does my life today say I would I have been among the multitudes that followed Jesus then?

Is my preference to “tell no man” about Jesus’ deeds for me?

Do I take Jesus’ Word as His command to me?

How can I learn to care about others as Jesus does?

How sick must I be before I exercise my faith in Jesus’ healing will and power?
