Good Words for Today: August 26

Here’s one thing you learn whenever you start to do anything for the Lord: It won’t be as easy as you think. Why should it be so? Couldn’t the Lord set it up another way? Yes, he could—and sometimes he does. But often God lets us struggle and sweat so that we learn to trust Him at a deeper level than ever before. Sooner or later we all end up facing a wall of impossibility. The bad news is that it really is impossible. The good news is that God loves to start with an impossibility.
