What promise of God have you left in a corner, afraid of failure? Unsure if it's for you?
Are you measuring possibility based on your ability or knowledge? God is not bound by the natural and physical laws of this world, nor by people's personality. Quit measuring possibility that way!
If you're unsure that God's promises are for you, I can assure you that God has no favourites. Yet, it is only those who ask and believe that will experience the kind of life and joy that God intended all His children to have.
If you want to know more about a promise, ask Him (Matt 7:7). Look into it. Find out what God is saying about this promise in regards to you - and you don't necessarily have to wait for someone knowledgeable to tell you the answer. Search God's word for yourself too. Become fully persuaded about it (Rom 4:19-21)!
The Almighty Creator is your Heavenly Daddy - why not ask Him directly and sincerely? He will always answer a sincere plea for understanding (James 1:5). In fact, He waits to be asked because He's been wanting to tell you (Jer 33:3)!
Your head may say "it's impossible" but down in the depths of your heart, perhaps there is a tug. Faith in its purest form is childlike, uncomplicated. It doesn't have to understand how or why - it just knows that it IS: that God would never promise something contrary to what He is willing to do, and that He can do exactly what He said He can do.
In all your searching, remember this:
1. All the promises of God are in Him 'yes', and in Him 'Amen' to the glory of God the Father. 2 Cor 1:20
You know what 'yes' means. 'Amen' is 'i sincerely mean what I have said'. If God says 'Amen' to ALL His promises, then there are no exceptions. If you were to ask, "Did you make this promise to me, too?" Then the answer is "Yes. AMEN." As far as He's concerned, if He promised it, He'll do it.
2. God will make sure that His Name is glorified. His character demands that He is faithful to His Word (Num 23:19): the 'yes' and 'amen' is "to the glory of God the Father." And He'll set things up so that only He can get the credit.
Just be aware that because He can see all the jigsaw parts of every life and you can't, His way of accomplishing it, and when may be different to yours:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts your thoughts."
His part is to get it done; your part is to believe that He will.
