Using Ordinary People


Possible with God
Luke 1:36-37

Read the Bible through:
AM –
Hosea 9-10 : PM – 3 John

"For with God nothing will be impossible."
(Luke 1:37).

The man was sitting backward on the cab of the truck when it went under the overpass. He was knocked into the truck bed and was paralyzed form the waist down. An X-ray showed that two of his vertebral bones were far out of alignment. He was taken to the operating room immediately. After the Doctor prayed for God’s help with the surgery, the surgeon made an incision to direct the placement of the bones. It took two husky men, one on each leg, to pull hard enough to get the upper body processes unlocked and back in place.

He was still paralyzed after the surgery. The doctors kept him in the hospital, and everyone prayed for him to receive movement in his legs although they knew doing so was virtually impossible. The chaplain of the hospital prayed, his family prayed, and his church prayed. Gradually feeling returned to his legs, and within a few weeks he was walking with a cane. With God nothing is impossible!

Lord, I often first think what is possible and impossible. Help me pray for needs and let You decide what is best.
