Dear Grands,

Luke 1:37, “For nothing will be impossible with God.”

My mother was told by her doctor that she would never have a child. Her mother’s response was: “He hasn’t reckoned with God.”

We often speak of the “four Gospels,” Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. But in reality, there is but one Gospel; and it is addressed to four different groups of people. Matthew speaks to the Jews; Mark, to the Romans; Luke to the Greeks; and John to the Church. Each expresses the Gospel in terms peculiar to his group, but there are no contradictions in the truths they each reveal.

Sir William Ramsay, the noted British chemist, Nobel Prize recipient, and atheist, was converted by faith to Jesus Christ. He wrote:

“I take the view that Luke’s history is unsurpassed in regard to its trustworthiness….

You may press the words of Luke in a degree beyond any other historian’s and they

stand the keenest scrutiny and the hardest treatment.”

In his first chapter, Luke records the miraculous births of two sons: John the Baptist was born of a woman well beyond her child-bearing years; and Jesus Christ was born of a virgin girl, who had never had a sexual relationship with a man. These two women were at opposite ends of the birth spectrum, yet the LORD used both of them to convince us all that “nothing is impossible with God.”

Job of Old Testament times said, “I know that Thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted” (Job 42:2).

The Apostle Paul added this convincing word, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28).

We are currently facing some difficult times. They are likely to continue. But, we must not become discouraged. The LORD has performed some astounding miracles in the past, and His overall purposes will not be hindered or overcome. You may be facing some turbulence in your life at this time. Just know and remember that nothing can hinder the will of Almighty God. He controls His purpose in every situation, and He will give you His strength to survive if you only trust Him.

We pray for patience, as we await His performance,
