Hello ,

"Jesus said to him, 'If you can believe? All things are possible for one who believes."  Mark 9:23

There's one thing that usually causes me to stop walking, if I'm out and about. Whenever I see a flower rising from a crack in a cement sidewalk or asphalt parking lot, I almost always pause, bend down, and take a look. 

Perhaps I'm fascinated by the idea that something so "permanent" can be rendered "temporary" through a tiny seedling's incremental growth and movement, but seeing a bloom amidst the forces of restraint gives me hope. 

In the spiritual realm, our belief in God's ability is like that flower bursting through the cement of opinion, worldly reason, and scholarly computation. 

God is the God of unconventional ways and means, and watching Him work can be an exercise in faith-building. 

How is your "belief" in His abilities today?

Have a great day and God bless!

Pastor Mike / The Open Word
