Working Through The Impossible
Throughout the pages of Scripture, God is known for doing extraordinary things. Light in the darkness, hope for the broken, and bringing help when it seems there is none. No matter what, God can transform seemingly impossible circumstances for His glory and our good.
In Luke chapter one, Mary’s lack of a husband and Elizabeth’s old age didn’t stop God from bringing Jesus and John the Baptist into the world. And today, nothing—whether it’s your past, an ongoing struggle, or a lack of resources—can stop the work that God is doing in and through you.
So, the next time you see an impossible situation in your life, remember that God is a God who works in and through those moments. He wants to talk with you about the things that feel impossible!

Paul teaches that the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus when we pray to Him (Philippians 4:6-7).
So although we are not Zephaniah’s original audience, we can find comfort in knowing that God is the same throughout all generations. He is still in our...
