Kath is our fist member to get to her target weight and she is thrilled to bits. She can't stop telling people all about it and is the first to admit that she had never thought to pray about losing weight. After trying for years and years she thought that losing weight was just too hard to do. On the other hand I have been quite successful in the past but am finding it really hard at the moment. We both need to look to God and Kath posed the question, "Do you think anything is too hard for God."
Kath knows me well. Of course I dont think anything is too hard for God. The verse comes from that lovely story when God promises Sarah, Abrahams wife, that she will have a baby even though she is old. It made me think. Theres a real arrogance in thinking that our problems are too big or small, too simple or too hard for God. That He isnt interested in the smallest details of our lives. That He cant manage them. Of course He can. The problem is not with God but with me. I am in a place where I need to repent my arrogance and my disbelief. To move to a place where I dont just say Nothing is too hard for the Lord, but really believe that Nothing is impossible for God.
This week I lost 4 pounds. Thank you so much God for working through the members at Nimos, for forgiving me my arrogance and disbelief, and in your mercy allowing me to make this lovely new start.
How are you doing? Be amazed what you can do when you allow God to work in your life and really believe that verse in Luke. Nothing is impossible for God.
