Don't You Get It?

Looking backwards, I see all the things that seemed impossible. In fact, there were things in life which seemed so impossible that I could not see the possibilities of the future.  Now, I see that God is always faithful and makes all things possible. The truth of life is powerful:  "With God all things are possible."

It was communicated in a conversation between Jesus and the disciples:
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26, NIV).
The conversation was not only words, but a look.
 So, what look did Jesus give the disciples? 
Jesus' look could have communicated "don't you get it?"  One thing I know is that it was the kind of look that comes with an active growing relationship.  The closer we become to one another, we communicate effectively without words.  And, a look often says more than words. 

How we see God  impacts our reality of living.  The Israelites could see God more clearly when they recounted that with God the impossible became possible:
In the greatness of your majesty
       you threw down those who opposed you.
       You unleashed your burning anger;
       it consumed them like stubble.
By the blast of your nostrils
       the waters piled up.
       The surging waters stood firm like a wall;
       the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. (Exodus 15:7-8, NIV).
Have you seen the faithfulness of God in the impossibilities of life?
Look backwards today.
See the faithfulness of God in your past.
Would Jesus be giving you the look that says, "Don't you get it?"
Look until you see that with God all things are possible.
Learning to KickStart the day looking until I get it,
