MORNING MANNA 11-7-25
ACCOMPLISHING WHAT SEEMS UNLIKELY
Acts Ch. 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
We all have a list of things which seem unlikely to accomplish. There’s something good we would like to do for God, some struggle we need to make it through, but the doubtful thoughts leave us feeling as though we can’t succeed.
Consider the apostles. They were commanded to go into all the world with a message about a man out of Nazareth crucified by Roman soldiers, and proclaim him to be the Savior of the world. This group was made up of some who were fishermen, most of them had little education, and were of low financial status. They didn’t come from prominent families of power or position.
It gets worse, many would come against them who did have impressive credentials in the world’s eyes.
However, the apostles accomplished mission impossible in the power of the Lord. They pressed forward in unfavorable circumstances. They set out to do what they didn’t feel they could get done. They heralded the message of the gospel in the midst of much resistance and souls were saved by this man out of Nazareth. The Church accomplished great things for the glory of God and grew!
There is most likely something on our “unlikely to accomplish “ list this morning we are thinking of right now, but the Lord wants us to be encouraged by the story of the great things he left these everyday men to do. They accomplished what seemed unlikely, and in the power of the Lord, we can too!- Kenneth Preston
