Inspirational Message
by Charles Swindoll
When you face an impossibility, leave it in the hands of the specialist. Refuse to calculate. Refuse to doubt. Refuse to work it out by yourself. Refuse to worry or encourage others to worry.
Instead say, “Lord, I’m carrying around something I cannot handle. Because You are not only able, but also willing and eager, take this off my hands. It’s impossible to me, but it as nothing to You.” Persevering through the pressures of impossibilities calls for that kind of confidence.
Now, our problem is that we hold onto our problems. If your Swiss watch stops working, you don’t sit down at home with a screwdriver and start working on it yourself. You take it to a specialist.
What if you do work on that watch and then you take it to a specialist? “Sir, my watch stopped working.”
“Oh really. Let me take a look at it… What in the world have you done to this lovely watch?”
The problem is that the Lord gets all the leftovers. We make all the mistakes and get things tied into nineteen granny knots, then dump it in His lap and say, “Here, Lord.”
No! Right at first, say, “It’s impossible: I can’t handle it. Lord, before I foul it up, it’s yours.” He is able to handle it. (from Three Steps Forward and Two Steps Back by Charles Swindoll)
Application: Do you face an impossible challenge? Remember the battle belongs to the Lord!
