Sometimes life feels impossible.

In our lives, work or school, family life or social settings feel overwhelming. Sometimes it’s the layering of all those things that become too much. Add to all of that our goals and aspirations that we feel called to reach, but then they might fall apart as well. In these moments, life feels impossible!

What if we shifted our focus? Instead of concentrating on how hard life can be, what if we gave it over to God? Since God’s Power is greater than ours, and He knows what’s best for us, why not let him take control? When we lean on God’s power, nothing is impossible.

PlanetShakers‘ worship hit, “Nothing Is Impossible“.

Take a moment and read through these lyrics before we jump into our Bible study.

“Through You I can do anything, I can do all things
‘Cause it’s You who gives me strength, Nothing is impossible
Through You blind eyes are open, Strongholds are broken
I am living by faith, Nothing is impossible

I’m not gonna live by what I see, I’m not gonna live by what I feel
Deep down I know that You’re here with me
And I know that You can do anything
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you“

Matthew 17:20 & Philippians 4:12-13

Let’s dig into our key passages. The first is a teaching from Jesus on faith.

“He said to them, ‘Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.'” (Matthew 17:20)

The second passage is centred on contentment and overcoming struggles by the Apostle Paul, written to the Philippian Church.

“I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:12-13)
