What IF?

What If?

by Tonya Taylor

For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.--Luke 1:37

"What if?" is a question that the LORD has used through the ages, to cause humans to explore, invent, and innovate.

As I tell my students, "Everything you see was created--including you!"

This includes what God made directly (people, nature, etc.), and what He gave people wisdom and creativity and determination to invent and then change to improve (which is what "innovation" means at it's core.).

Every time I've asked, "What if?" my thinking is expanded, and I believe that pleases God, Who is Elohim, the Creator.

When I have thought, "What if?" (and I'm talking about ideas and concepts that brought about positive results and helped me and/or others in some way), then I've been so glad that I received wisdom and courage from the LORD to pursue that thought and accomplish what, a few minutes before--maybe even for decades--had seemed "impossible."

With God authoring and approving our thoughts (and not every thought should be done; there are good thoughts, and then there are God thoughts, and we need His help to discern the difference!), all things are possible!

Let's ask God to expand our thinking, and more closely align it with His: Dear Father in Heaven, You are the ultimate Inventor! You are the Creator of all good things! You give us strength to achieve, and minds to think, and education and training and experience. You give us every breath! We are on the planet to know You and please You, and to enjoy this wondeful life You have give us. Help us to align our thinking with You--through Your Word, worship of You, prayer, fellowshiping with other true Believers--and to change this world for the good, for You, so many others will know that Jesus is real and truly good and returning soon! In Your Name, amen!

Now, let us (me included!) get ready for new adventures in Him! Hallelujah!
