Luke 1:38
Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; be it done to me according to your word 

 If God wants something done, can it be done? In other words, if God has a goal for your life, can it be blocked, or is its fulfillment uncertain or impossible?

I am personally convinced that no goal God has for my life is impossible or uncertain, nor can it be blocked. Imagine God saying, “I’ve called you into existence, I’ve made you My child, and I have something for you to do. I know you won’t be able to do it, but give it your best shot.” That’s ludicrous! It’s like saying to your child, “I want to you to mow the lawn. Unfortunately, the lawn is full of rocks, the mower doesn’t work, and there’s no gas. But give it your best shot.” Even secular scholars say that issuing a command that cannot be obeyed will undermine authority.

God had a staggering goal for a little maiden named Mary. An angel told her that she would bear a son while still a virgin, and that her son would be the Savior of the world. When she inquired about this seemingly impossible feat, the angel simply said, “Nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37).

You wouldn’t give your child a task he couldn’t complete, and God doesn’t assign to you goals you can’t achieve. His goals for you are possible, certain and achievable. When God’s will for us appears impossible, let’s say with Mary: “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; be it done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).

Imagine the overwhelming assignment that confronted Mary. She was to have a baby without being with a man. She was to raise the child who would save the world. The entire course of history would be altered, and the eternal destiny of believers would be changed. The fact that you are celebrating Christmas today is proof that Mary’s child Jesus was indeed the world-changing Son of God.

Despite the staggering nature of the task announced by the angel, Mary gave herself to accomplish God’s will. God is still looking for a few bondslaves who will dare to believe that nothing is impossible with God.

Is it you He will do the impossible in and with? Will you open yourself to the possibility that God is not surprised by your choices, and no matter what you have done or will do undermines His ability to fulfill the plans He has for you? God is much  bigger than our choices,  no matter how bad they may seem.Can you look  beyond the horizon of your current weaknesses and circumstances to see the same potential that God sees it you? Will you be like Peter and fail many times before getting it right? God never gave up on Him, why do you think He would give up on you? Nothing grieves His heart more than when we reject His plan for our lives and go our own way.Like a good parent, if you happen to be one then you know what I’m talking about, He will do everyting possible to bring us into a right relationship with Himself. But no matter how perfect a parent is, the child is ultimately responsible for the choices He makes. No matter how Perfect God is, the simple fact is that man still will rebel and reject Him.

Before that night in the manger, time counted down to His birth, now the clock counts forward to His Return. He was the only Human born in History whose sole purpose was to die. A timeless God stepped into time, to be a part of our world, so that we might one day be a part of His. And He has entrusted us, people that fail, that make mistakes, to do the impossible task that need to be done. We cannot do it alone, and He never expected us to. He is not alive as a human in this world, but if your a believer, He’s alive in you and you in Him. He has given you authority to complete any task He desires you to perform…So its your turn to grab the mantel and perform the task that need to be completed…will you?..

Hope you had a Wonderfully Blessed CHRISTmas as you spent time with family and friends. I hope you took some time out of the busyness of the day to remember the babe in the manger that changed our world forever and our lives for Eternity
