“God works in such mysterious ways.” My friend and I discussed how our circumstances went beyond our physical involvement. “Lord I’ve done the possible now You’re going to have to do the impossible.” (Luke 1:37) Driving down the highway continuing our conversation we both agreed we had to stand firm on faith. He’s working out the impossible. My downfall is, I like for things to be over with. The mental battle is exhausting. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities of the air as Ephesians 6:12 reveals. Paul wrote about the war against his own will. (Romans 7:23) Then there are those we deal with that are set on their own principles. 

She began telling me a story of how God moved in a situation in His own way on time. The sweet fragrance of anointing oil and God’s presence filled the vehicle. Tears of gladness slid down my face while she praised Him. The next day that situation she had been praying about for over six months settled. Her husband got the position he’d been promised. 

I understand that it’s difficult but God makes it good. Doors that should be closed will be closed on His terms. When He opens a door no one has the power to close it.

“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” Revelation 3:8 KJV

I listened to a lady giving her testimony that encourages waiters. Her ideas were dismissed by the CEO, she was dismissed as well.  Later several company owners came to her saying they wanted her to come work for them. She explained she’d been dismissed by the CEO. That CEO was fired and they came to her to fill the position.

God works in mysterious ways! Believe me, trying to figure out how He’s going to do it will shut us down quickly.

If you are praying for the impossible don’t give up hope. Let God do what He needs to do!

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:” Isaiah 55:8-10 KJV
