Great Things in Impossible Ways

I dig a little hole in the garden with hesitancy and hope patting the little seedling in the ground. I am hesitant because the prediction for the weather this summer in the Pacific Northwest is to be unusually dry and hot and I will not be home for some time to water and care for them. .

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope in salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” Romans 5:3-5 NLT.”

 Faith gives us this sweet delight in knowing there is still something in us which remains hopeful in life even when we can’t see if it’s possible.

As we continue on with perseverance we are strengthened by the increase of faith growing in the fertile soil of our hearts by the love of God and remembering His faithfulness and all His abilities go far beyond our imagination.

There comes a moment in the midst of our ordinary day in life, perhaps as simple as putting a seedling in the ground, when we recognize our limits of what is humanly possible and give it all to God allowing Him then to do the impossible.

 Today there is delight in the midst of despair in knowing there is something still in us which urges us to plant gardens in a draught. Its then we recall God is able to do great things in impossible ways.

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.” Martin Luther
