The angel told Mary that she, a virgin, would have a son and he would be the holy Son of God. The angel also told Mary that her elderly and barren relative, Elizabeth, would have a son too. Neither of those babies should have been possible, but both babies were born just as the angel foretold.Luke 1:37 is truth, but that truth can cause mixed feelings for most of us. On the one hand, we are overwhelmed with the knowledge of the greatness of our God. Nothing we ask or imagine is impossible for him. We can find great peace and comfort in his holy perfection. Except, sometimes his perfection doesn’t feel perfect or perfectly fair.If God can do anything, then why doesn’t God do that thing we need him to do? Why do impossibly difficult things happen in our lives and in the lives of those we love? “Why then,” as Job, King David, the prophet Jeremiah, and most of us ask, “do the wicked prosper?” If all things are possible with God, then why do difficult and unfair things happen in the lives of his beloved children?That question was difficult for our Bible heroes, and we should expect it to be difficult for us as well. One of the best lessons I ever learned was to give up my need to understand the ways of God. We shouldn't expect to understand God’s ways any more than a three-year-old should expect to solve complicated equations on a calculus exam. Nothing is impossible for God, but a lot of things are impossible for us.I rarely pray to understand God’s will. I pray instead for the faith to trust and accept God’s will. Those prayers can be answered and his peace often follows. I know nothing is impossible for God, and he is never limited in any way. His plans can be trusted. His love for us is complete. Our eternal lives will be his design and are guaranteed by his promise. I will never fully understand the greatness of God, but I know him as the God who makes all things possible.To know God is the beginning of wisdom. You can know and experience God’s power even when you can’t fully comprehend it because he is the God who makes all things possible.
