Next to Impossible

What do you do when you are faced with impossible odds? When it seems the cards are stacked against you so to speak, how do you handle the situation?

We all face difficult circumstances and sometimes even situations that look to us to be impossible. There are days when it seems not worth it to get up in the mornings. Days when it seems all our friends are gone and we are standing alone against the impossible. I'm sure you know the saying "when it rains, it pours" and it seems we just can't take another thing, then something else happens, something else breaks, someone else gets ill, the job ends, the food runs out, the clothes wear out, then what? We pray and pray and it seems as if we are just talking to ourselves. The burdens of life become insurmountable. The pressure makes you feel as if you will explode if one more thing happens. How do we handle this?

Giving in or giving up is not an option! We must keep going, we must keep putting that one foot in front of the other. I have good news for you today, God is amazing at impossible situations! You see, when the three Hebrew children were cast into the fire, God could have stepped in and rescued them before they were thrown into the furnace, but He didn't.....It was when they were cast all the way in that they found God walking with them in the flames.( from the song, "On Time God") 

You want to talk impossible.....being cast into a furnace, bound, death is imminent, and then God steps in.....that does something to my spirit! It lets me know that it does not matter how difficult this race becomes, how hard or how long the days are, how many times I stumble on the way, that God sees me and He cares so much that He will step into the worst situation and rescue me.....He is not afraid, He is not confused, He is not worried.....but He is powerful, He is on-time, He is faithful!

For me right now, the greatest thing I can think of is that He sees me.....out of everyone else, regardless of what else is happening in the whole world at this very minute, He sees Me!! That is compassion, that is love....I am loved by an all-powerful, King of Kings, Master of the Universe. I don't have to wait for my prince to come and rescue me, He already has!! I am loved and cared for by the royalty of Heaven. When I stop and think of that I can continue the journey. I am then reminded that NOTHING is impossible for God.......... if  you are in a situation now and you need someone to pray for you just leave me a message below in the comments, you don't have to elaborate, just a simple "I need prayer"....and I will remember you when I pray.

Continuing the journey

In case you are unable to watch the video here are the words for you to read.....very powerful
THE BIBLE SAYS
HE’S THE KING OF THE JEWS
KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
KING OF GLORY TOO
HE’S ENSHRINED AS SOVEREIGN KING EVERY WAY
HE’S THE KING OF THE HEAVEN THE AGES AND MORE
HE’S THE KING OF ALL KINGS
AND HE IS THE LORD OF LORDS
NOW THAT’S MY KING!
AND I WONDER DO YOU KNOW HIM TODAY?
HE’S EN-DURABLY STRONG
HE’S ENTIRELY SINCERE
HE’S ETERNALLY STEADFAST
IMPERVIOUS TO FEAR
HE’S IMMORTALLY GRACEFUL
WITH THE IMPARTIAL MERCY HE’S SHOWN
HE’S BEEN MISINTERPRETED AND MISREPRESENTED
HE’S UNPARALLELED
HE’S UNPRECEDENTED
AS THE GREATEST PHENOMENON THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN
NO MEANS OF MEASURE 
CAN BEGIN TO DEFINE 
HIS LIMITLESS LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND
HE’S THE SINNERS’ SAVIOR
STILL THE ONE TRUE ONLY WAY
HE’S THE LOFTIEST IDEA 
IN ALL LITERATURE READ
THE HIGHEST IDEAL 
IN THE PHILOSOPHERS HEAD
THE REAL OF THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE
NOW DO YOU KNOW MY KING TODAY?
THAT’S MY KING!
THAT’S MY KING!
I WANNA LET EVERYBODY KNOW 
THAT’S MY KING
HE’S STRENGTH FOR THE WEAK
FOR THE TEMPTED AND TRIED
HE SUSTAINS AND LEADS
HE EVEN SYMPATHIZES 
HE DEFENDS THE FEEBLE
TO THE DOWN AND WOUNDED
HE’S A SHIELD
HE REWARDS THE DILIGENT
TURNS LOSERS TO WINNERS
DISCHARGES THE DEBTORS
HE FORGIVES ALL THE SINNERS
AFTER 2000 YEARS HE STILL SAVES AND 
DELIVERS AND HE HEALS.
HE’S LIMITLESS IN GOODNESS 
MERCY AND LOVE
HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT
HIS WORD IS ENOUGH
HE’S THE KEY TO ALL KNOWLEDGE 
AND THE PATHWAY TO EVERY GOOD THING
HE’S THE HIGHWAY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS
COMPASSION TO INDIFFERENCE
HE’S THE WELLSPRING OF WISDOM
HE’S THE DOORWAY TO DELIVERANCE
YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT HIM 
AND YOU CAN’T OUT LIVE HIM
DOES ANYBODY KNOW MY KING?
THAT’S MY KING
THAT’S MY KING
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT’S MY KING
THAT’S MY KING
THAT’S MY KING
I WANT EVERYBODY KNOW THAT’S MY KING
NOW LISTEN LISTEN
I WISH I COULD DESCRIBE HIM 
BUT HE’S INDESCRIBABLE
HE’S SO INCOMPREHENSIBLE

HE’S UNDENIABLE
HE’S THE MOST IRRESISTIBLE INTOXICANT 
YOU WILL EVER HEAR ABOUT
HE’LL MAKE YOU WANNA SING
HE’LL MAKE YOU CLAP YOUR HANDS
HE’LL MAKE YOU WANNA TESTIFY
AND PREACH TO EVERY MAN
HE’LL MAKE YOU WANNA STAND UP
MAKE SOME NOISE 
AND JUST SHOUT 
THE SADDUCEES COULDN’T STUMP HIM
THEIR QUESTIONS NO PROBLEM
THE PHARISEES COULDN’T STAND HIM
THEY ALL COULDN’T STOP HIM
SOLDIERS COULDN’T SCARE HIM
NOBODY COULD MAKE HIM LEAVE TOWN
PILATE COULDN’T FIND ANY FAULT IN HIM
ANGRY MOB COULDN’T CHILL HIM
THE CROSS DIDN’T SLOW HIM
AND HEROD COULDN’T KILL HIM
DEATH COULDN’T HANDLE HIM
AND THE GRAVE COULDN’T HOLD HIM DOWN
THAT’S MY KING
THAT’S MY KING
