Is there a situation in your life which is impossible?  You have done everything, absolutely everything and not one thing has changed!  Nothing!

Consider Elijah on the top of Mount Carmel.  Many people were there, 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah, plus King Ahab.  There may have been others there also.  1 Kings 18:19-20

The idolaters had tried all day for their sacrifice of a bull on an altar to be consumed by fire from their god, Baal.  Nothing happened.  No matter that the 450 prophets danced, yelled, and cried out to their god.  They even cut themselves so their blood gushed out.  Still their god did not respond to them.  1 Kings 18:25-29

Elijah called all the people to come closer to him.  He next repaired the altar of the LORD on the top of Mount Carmel.  He took 12 stones, representing the 12 tribes of Israel, and made an altar in the name of the LORD.  Then he made a trench around the altar, large enough to hold five and a half gallons of water.  He arranged the ox sacrifice in pieces on the altar.

Next, he asked for four pitchers of water and poured them on the burnt offering and on the wood.  He did this not once, not twice, but three times!  The water was dripping off of the wood and the offering.  Then, on top of all this, Elijah filled the trench with five and a half gallons of water!  1 Kings 18:30-35

What were you thinking Elijah?  Water does not burn.  Water is used to put out fires!  The burnt offering and the wood on the altar were soaked.  The water in the trench an added measure of impossibility!

From a person’s point of view, Elijah made it impossible for the sacrifice to be consumed by fire.

How great is your God?

Elijah believed the LORD God to be very great indeed.  His God would do the impossible!  He would also prove to those standing there that He is indeed God.

Do you believe the living God is able to do the impossible:
In the lives of your loved ones?

In your nation?

In you?

‘You O LORD, my God, are truly the God who does the impossible!
Help my faith in You to grow.’

~ Take it to heart ~

‘You are the living God Who has, Who can, Who will, do the impossible… today!’
(NASB) Luke 1:37 “For nothing will be impossible with God.”

My God IS the God of the impossible!
Is your God the God of the impossible?
