“For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for with God all things are possible.”
Mark 10:27

With God’s ever-present help your life is full steam ahead, with the destination of good. God is more powerful than temporal problems.

You can do ALL things with God’s help.

Someone once said that there are three kinds of people found within the walls of the church, first there are rowboat people. They are all pulling with all their strength at the oars as they try to row up the stream. They make some progress. But it is difficult going against the current.

In their effort to row upstream, they get all worn out.

Second, there are sailboat people. Given the right winds, the right kind of environment, their sails are full and ready to travel for God. For a time everything is wonderful. But when the wind stops blowing, the boat stops sailing and begins drifting. These people often get depressed and do not amount to much in the grand scheme of the great work of God, until a new wind blowing in the right direction comes along.

Third, there are Steamboat people. The Steamboat does not care about the current. It does not care about the wind. It is powered by the fire and water that turns the great propellers and moves it to its destination, regardless of wind or weather.

It is only when we allow God to come to the center of our lives and take control can we be a Steamboat person.

In Milan, Italy, a city known for its art, there is an impressive cathedral that has some significant words inscribed around its entrance. To the right of the door is a sculptured wreath of roses. Underneath it says: “All that pleases us is only for a moment.” On the left is a sculptured Cross of thorns with these words beneath: “All that troubles us is only for a moment.” Over-the-top are the words, “Nothing is important but that which is eternal.”

You are connected to an eternal God. God is more powerful than your temporal problems. With God’s help, you can do all things.

What possibilities does the future hold for you, or for the church that you work within?

The thing that we know for certain is that God is in charge. The only limitations on our possibilities come from our own imagination.

God can take ordinary people and make them extraordinary. Take, for instance, an ordinary piece of charcoal. Who would ever imagine, just by looking at it, that with time and with the force of nature, a shiny black lump could become a shimmering, exquisite diamond? Or consider a caterpillar: Do you see an ordinary bug, or do you look past that to see the beautiful butterfly it will become, free from the restraints it once had and be able to soar?

With God’s help we look beyond what seems to be reality and behold the possibilities of God splendor at work!

With God – the future is bright!
