God of the Impossible

We're entering into my favorite time of the year - Christmas.  I love everything about it.  I'm still getting used to celebrating it in summer here in South Africa, but I love it just as much.  I've already been singing songs about and celebrating Emmanuel - God with us.  Just saying the name causes worship to well up in my heart!

I've also been reading about the angel coming to Mary to tell her she would conceive by the Holy Spirit - and of Elizabeth bearing a son in her old age.  Luke 1:37 says "for with God nothing will be impossible."  As we come to the end of a year, and face a new one - that verse, that promise, gives me fresh hope.  We serve a God of the impossible!

"But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me."  Micah 7:7

"Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer."  Romans 12:12

"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.  In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.  May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you."  Psalm 33:20-22

Blessings to you in the wonderful month of celebrating the birth of Jesus!  I'm so grateful He came!
