Is There Anything Too Difficult for God?

So we made up our minds to try.  My husband and I had just finished watching a movie called, “The Secret,” about a month prior to this, and in this movie, they kept referring to the law of attraction, and how people keep putting their lives on hold, and why? How people allow their tongue to curse their lives, when they could be living the happiness they dream of.

I thought about that hard…it made so much sense to me.  I mean, of course I looked it up in the Bible first.  And you know what? Even the Bible speaks about how the tongue can speak blessings over one’s life, or curses over one’s life.  Matthew 12:37 says, “For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."  And Proverbs 18:21 reads, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

So how can you argue with the Word? I mean, Man can dress it up, but it still boils down to what the Word has already put out there—if you speak life, prosperity, happiness, you shall have those.  If you speak calamity, treachery, and malevolent matters, then you shall have those as well, for whatever a man soweth, he shall also reap.  How is that a secret? LOL. Only because we have forgotten about the Word in our daily walk, and have become guided by things that we should not be.

So we began to strategize.  We were a 2 person “football” team, using the calendar on the app, mapping out plays, deciding how we would play offense, and how we would play defense to make our dream a reality.

A few times, we wobbled on our decision.  We wondered was this right time? Was this the right thing to do? What about Matthew? How will he feel? How will we handle telling him? We also worried about the heartache we would feel if we were not successful.  What would we do then? How would we handle the agony of defeat? And this defeat would be of the worst kind because the end result, is something we have always wanted. Then, we decided that it was time to stop with the excuses…stop with the delays…we remembered what the angel said to Sarah in Genesis, when she laughed at the promise of a child, "Is anything too difficult for the LORD?

We had our answer.  We would move forward, and we would try. God’s will be done, we could no longer lean on our own understanding, but trust in what God had in store for us…
