Matthew 19:26 ‘But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.’
DAILY READING; Acts 13:1-25; Joshua 18-19; Job 29
On June 23, 1940, a premature baby girl was born to Blanche and Ed Rudolph. This baby was the 20th of their 22 children. Born at four and a half months, this baby was very frail, and it seemed unlikely she would survive. However, she did begin to grow. But at 4 years old, she became stricken with double pneumonia, scarlet fever and polio and her legs became paralyzed. Though the doctors said she would never walk again, Blanche and Ed Rudolph had deep faith in God and taught their paralyzed daughter Wilma to also believe God for miracles.
Putting her faith to work, at nine years of age, Wilma took off the braces on her legs and took a step. And from that moment she began to make progress until she began to walk. She became a medical wonder to the doctors.
Wilma often read her Bible and sought faith from God’s Word. Then, incredibly she began to nurse the dream that she could become the fastest woman in the world. Although it seemed like an impossibility, Wilma at 13 years began to join school races. Initially she was coming last but eventually she began winning her races. She won so many races that she came to be known as the ‘Tennessee Tornado’. Then at just 16 years, she became part of the U.S. Olympic team.
At the Rome Olympics, Wilma was pitted against the greatest woman runner of the times, a German girl named Yetta Heine. Though nobody had ever beat Yetta Heine, yet Wilma beat her in three races.
Wilma Rudolph won three gold medals in the 1960 Rome Olympics and became known as the fastest woman on earth. What amazed the world was that only few years earlier, Wilma had been paralyzed and couldn’t even walk.
It is indeed God’s will to turn us into a wonder to our world.
God delights in tuning impossibilities into possibilities. He loves to do in our lives that which will make men wonder and ponder.
However, our faith is required for God to do the miraculous. When we believe, all things will indeed be possible to us.
There is incredible power in what we believe. Jesus said signs will follow those that believe (Mark 16:17-18).
When you get in agreement with God and believe His Word, your faith can supersede any natural law. What you believe will be greater than what the expert medical report or bank account says.
Sometimes, just like Wilma Rudolph, God will put a dream in your heart that seems impossible. But if only you will believe, God can do the incredible and cause you to make a Mark in your generation.
If you are faced with any situation that seems impossible, always remember that nothing is impossible to God.
If He can create the world in six days, raise the dead, part the red sea and stop the mouth of lions, certainly He can do the miraculous in your life. All you need is to connect to faith in His Word. When we believe God, His great power is released to accomplish signs and wonders in our lives.
Ephesians 1:19 says ‘and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power..’
Indeed the exceeding greatness of God’s power is available to those who believe. Certainly what you believe is what you will receive.
Therefore Today, let us begin to believe God for amazing things this year. Surely, through faith in God, we can achieve the impossible and truly become wonders to our world.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to align with Your Word so that I can begin to see Your signs and wonders in my life. I thank You Lord for the grace to believe You for even the impossible this year. I know indeed that You are set to do great and mighty things in my life in Jesus Name.
