Mission:Impossible

Last year, I wrote Mother’s Day For the Childless Couple not knowing what and where God would take us over the next twelve months fearing in that Zechariah and Elizabeth fashion that Chastity and I would never be able to conceive a child. Fast forward a few months later to a pregnant spouse and further to February 13 when Caeli Elise made her debut and changed our lives dramatically – and for the enrichment of our family. What was once impossible in man’s eyes is eternally possible for God - and for both instances, Zechariah and Elizabeth were blessed with John, later known as the forerunner of Jesus. Likewise, our beautiful daughter is a blessing from Above.

One happy family

When Joshua faced the extremely well-fortified city of Jericho already in lockdown, he may have felt as if he were facing an impossible situation. But then a Man with a drawn sword appeared to him. His identity is unknown although many theologians speculate this as Jesus; Joshua anxiously asked him if he would back the Israelites or the Jericho inhabitants in the upcoming battle. “Neither one,” he replied. “I am commander of the Lord’s army.” Joshua bowed his head in worship before taking another step. That day, he did not know that God would deliver victory to Joshua, but he listened to God, worshipped Him, and obeyed His instructions. Seven days later, the Mission: Impossible became Mission: Accomplished.

With the Lord, there is no need to worry. Choose trust and remember that nothing is too hard for Him.
