Is Anything Impossible with God?

"You have a 5% chance of ever having a second child."

 The doctor's words were unwelcomed for the young couple had wanted another child for so long. They sought prayers for this situation from their Sunday School class. And God spoke to the husband saying

"Before this year is over, you will have a child." And it was so............

Seventeen years ago today, that promise came to pass. Our grandson, Joel, came into this world. What a blessing he has been ! Very much a leader among his peers at school and at church and such a joy to his family! We know that just as God promised a child would be born to this couple, He has promised to guide him along life's journey.

We don't know what life holds for this young man but we know that God knows and in His time anything is possible. Hundreds of years ago, God promised another couple that He would send them a child after the wife had been barren for many years.

 "Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac" Genesis 21:1-3

What is the "impossibility" in your life? Who can imagine the miraculous way God will answer the fervent prayers of His children? Is anything "impossible" for our God?
