Call Out To Jesus

My Utmost For His Highest

“When Jesus asks what we want Him to do for us about the incredible problem that is confronting us, remember that He doesn’t work in commonsense ways, but only in supernatural ways. Look at how we limit the Lord by only remembering what we have allowed Him to do for us in the past. We say, “I always failed there, and I always will.” Consequently, we don’t ask for what we want. Instead, we think, “It is ridiculous to ask God to do this.” If it is an impossibility, it is the very thing for which we have to ask. If it is not an impossible thing, it is not a real disturbance. And God will do what is absolutely impossible.” CHAMBERS

Do you believe that our God is able to do the impossible?  You and I face problems, habits, and fears that seem to plague us.  We want to be free from them, but they seem to be always lurking .. waiting to overwhelm us.  After a while we become resolved to the fact that we will struggle with them the rest of our lives.  Nothing can be done.  It is like the blind man who was that way probably his entire life.  There was no reason to believe that his life would ever change.  Why would there be.  But then one day .. he met Jesus .. and what he had marked off as impossible suddenly became a reality (read Luke 18:35-42) 


So what is it in your life that seems impossible to overcome … Seek God as a first resort not as the last thing (Matthew 6:33) … I have heard and have said ‘I guess all we can do is pray!’  what I should have said .. ‘The first thing we are going to do is pray!’  (James 5:16)  Do you want to know God more?  You must meet with Him in the Word.  The Word is a reflection of the Father through the Son by the Holy Spirit.  Be like the blind man on the side of the road .. Call out to Jesus … He will hear you  … but what’s more He will heal you .. not just for your comfort, but for His glory.
