Breaking the Human Impossible

The new year has come with a great entrance. As we have sought the Lord first during the annual Prayer and Fasting, revelations and visions are really lucid. God articulated well enough that this year should be a year for higher, wider, deeper faith. I can still recall each days' themes (I think so...);
  1. Day 0 - Audacious Faith
  2. Day 1 - Faith to Deliver
  3. Day 2 - Faith to Declare
  4. Day 3 - Faith to Conquer
  5. Day 4 - Faith to Claim
  6. Day 5 - Faith to Serve

(Ooops, I forgot some. TAGGED GUILTY.) But what I could remember more was how God moved in each night telling me to have faith to deliver, declare, conquer, claim and serve. But I also remembered I know these days would come. Because right now, I am starting to doubt on myself, and what is bound to come. 

As a graduating student, there's no denying that I am getting old, and more than that, maturity should be looked after much more. Soon I'll come to decide on my own and all. But the thing right now that scares me in the face is my future. What should I do after school? Should I take my Masters? Will I pass the Licensure exam? Will I have a job stable enough to save for what's ahead? And the list goes on and on without end. All God's promises from the beginning is now forgotten. I am doubting on my abilities that could help me win life.

But tonight, God revealed something to me again. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's just the world we're in. Right here where we are, are full of people living by 'to see is to believe'. Let us holdfast to the fact that God says "...blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."[1] Shouldn't we go live our lives for God? Shouldn't we listen to Him more and on His promises that what this world is telling us? Should we break the impossible?

And yes. It is hard to believe in the impossible (through the eyes of human.) But isn't it also a great thing that in our weaknesses, we have a great God that is strong? And that our weaknesses are made match to be filled with the grace of God. And probably that's the reason of being human too. To completely depend on the ever-knowing, omnipotent God that is above all. Trust God when you cannot muster the trust you want to give yourself. 

It is said that, "...now hope that is seen is not hope." [2] This is a reminder that we can always hope for the impossible. Come to think of it, we could have the tendency to believe that things happens due to what we can do. But if we cannot, we can see that it is the greatness of God alone that moved.

Let us get encouraged today not on who we are and what we can do, but on who God said He is, and what He can do. 

The best is bound to come :)
