TO MAN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT TO GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

How Often Do You Arrive at This Answer to Your Dilemmas?

Life brings moments when solutions seem beyond reach, strength feels insufficient, and the road ahead appears closed. In these moments, we often arrive at a quiet conclusion: “There is nothing more I can do.” And yet, right where human ability ends, God’s limitless power begins.

Jesus makes this truth unmistakably clear: “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26, KJV). This is not simply a comforting phrase—it is a divine declaration meant to reshape how we look at every challenge, every delay, and every unanswered question.

If we are honest, we often turn to this truth last, after trying every method, idea, or personal effort. But Jesus invites us to arrive at this conclusion first, because impossibility is not a barrier to God—it is a platform for His glory. The more we learn to lean on Him, the more quickly we recognize His power in every situation.

The story of Sarah gives us a vivid reminder. God promised her a son, but she was far past childbearing age. From a human standpoint, it was a closed case—utterly impossible. Yet God asked Abraham:

“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14)

At the appointed time, the impossible became reality. Isaac was born, just as God said.

This teaches us that what feels delayed or dead in our lives is never beyond revival in God’s hands.

Jesus told the father of a demon-possessed boy:

“If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23)

The man’s response was honest and relatable:

“Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” (Mark 9:24)

God’s power doesn’t require perfect faith—just surrendered faith. When our hearts lean toward Him, even with trembling trust, He moves.

God can create, restore, provide, heal, and open doors that no human ability or reasoning can produce. He is not limited by age, background, resources, or how bad the situation has gotten.

When we face dilemmas, we often start by reasoning, planning, worrying, or trying to solve everything alone. But the more we grow spiritually, the quicker we come to this truth:

“This is beyond me, but it is not beyond God.”

The more we walk with God, the faster our hearts turn toward His ability rather than our limitations.

Your impossible situation is not the end—it is the turning point where God’s power takes over. He invites us to shift our eyes from our own strength to His unfailing greatness. So when life brings questions you cannot answer and mountains you cannot move, remember:

What is impossible for man is possible for God—always, completely, and without limitation.

That then becomes your starting point, not your last resort.
