Who Woulda Thunk

“Unlikely is not impossible, improbable is not never, and hard to believe is not out of the question.”
Loren Thornburg

I love stories of things that once seemed impossible, dreams that once seemed buried, and hopes that seemed hopeless come to be possible, alive, and fill us with hope. Kurt Warner is one of those stories. From stocking shelves at the Cedar Falls Hy-Vee Food Store to making NFL history this quarterback has become an inspiration to many. Sports is filled with these stories where that which seemed impossible is made possible. Although Kurt Warner may have dreamed that one day he would become the football superstar that he is now I doubt that this seemed possible while he was stocking shelves at the grocery store. Who would have thought that he would one day make NFL history with records and rings. Our lives have stories like this too. Maybe they don’t end with records and rings but we all have moments big and small when things that seemed impossible become not only possible but true. Lets remember those as we dream, imagine and believe for that in our lives now that seems impossible, improbable and hard to believe. There is always hope regardless of the circumstance.

“Is anything too hard for the Lord? ... For who would have dreamed that I would ever have a baby? Yet I have been given Abraham a son in his old age!”
Genesis 18:14…21:7 NLT

God does things we never would have dreamed in ways we never would have dreamed!
Abraham was 100 years old when the Lord told him that his wife Sarah who was ninety would bear him a son. Can you imagine that today? It would definitely make the headlines… “91 Year Old Woman Gives Birth.” It seems impossible. People rarely live to be 100, let alone have kids at this age. Although there are stories of people living hundreds of years in the bible it still seemed impossible to Sarah that she would bare a child after years of being barren at such an old age. Yet, nothing is impossible for the Lord! These impossibilities take time that seems too long. This time is often filled with much hardship that seems too hard. This hardship is often filled with much fear and doubting that seems hopeless. Still though it seems impossible, it seems too long, it seems too hard let us remember He does exactly as He promises. There is nothing outside of that which He has the power to do…NOTHING! Sarah can attest to this! And we can too when we look back to ways that the Lord has done things in our lives that which seemed impossible. And the unlikely ways in which He does the unlikely. What has He done in your life that you never would have dreamed of…in ways you never would have dreamed of?
