"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly.
It's wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, or course, flies anyway.
Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible."
I just love that! So typical of us to think that we know everything - have an answer and an explanation for everything and think that we can determine what is possible and impossible. I started looking up a few Bible verses about the possible and the impossible and I found a recurring theme of the impossible only being possible with God...
At one point, a man comes to Jesus asking Him, if it's at all possible, to heal his son who has been having seizures since childhood ("if you can" he says)... Jesus' response: "If you can? Everything is possible for him who believes." (Mark 9:23) Who are we to limit what God can do when we come to Him and ask in faith!
Mark 10:27 "With man this [being saved] is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."
Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
Then there's Hebrews 11:6 "Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
Human wisdom... an oxymoron? I'm thinking so! I love that James 1:5 assures us that if any of us lacks wisdom, we should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to us. And with that and the knowledge that all things are possible with God... there is hope for us yet!
