Trust God for the Impossible

“For there is nothing that God cannot do.” Luke 1:37 (GNT)

I should never let an impossible situation intimidate me. Why? Because nothing is impossible with God.

The Bible says, “For there is nothing that God cannot do” (Luke 1:37 GNT). 

Instead of being intimidated by a seemingly impossible situation, let it motivate me to pray more, believe more, trust more, wait more, expect more, and depend on God more.

It doesn’t matter how impossible a situation may seem; I can be certain that “he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” (Philippians 1:6 NIV). What God starts in my life, he will finish.

So take your dictionary out cut out the word impossible. Decide that it’s not in God’s dictionary, then it should be in mine.

Hudson Taylor, a missionary from the 1800s, said this about God doing the impossible in our lives: “There are three stages to every great work of God; first it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.”

But Satan doesn’t want me to believe that nothing is impossible with God. He’ll tell me over and over, “Who do you think you are? You can’t do that. What makes you think you can be a man of God?” When I believe and trust God for the impossible in my life, it’s an embarrassment for the devil.  

If I find myself in what looks like an impossible situation, Look to God and rely on his promises. He is able to move things from impossible to possible—and then to done. I can trust him with the outcome and the timing. 

In Summary:

Luke 1:37 and Philippians 1:6 declare that God’s power is entirely unconstrained by human limitations and that He faithfully finishes every work He initiates in a believer's life. Today's notes emphasize transforming seemingly impossible circumstances from triggers of intimidation into catalysts for deeper prayer, dependence, and expectation. Drawing on Hudson Taylor’s three-stage framework—impossible, difficult, then done—I identify that spiritual resistance often attacks my identity, whispering doubts about my adequacy to step forward as a man of God. Ultimately, anchoring my mindset in God’s promises shifts my posture from measuring obstacles against my own capability to entrusting both the timing and the outcome to the One who holds absolute authority.

Bottom Line:

When I anchor my identity in God’s promises rather than my own limitations, impossible circumstances become the exact arena where His faithfulness carries His work to completion.

Next Step:

Identify one persistent obstacle or delayed goal where self-doubt has tempted me to pull back, write down the specific scriptural promise from Luke 1:37 or Philippians 1:6 beside it, and commit to executing one disciplined daily habit of prayer and consistent effort over the next seven days—refusing to let temporary difficulty dictate my identity or momentum.
