John 6 - The Swindoll Study Bible

IMPOSSIBILITIES John 6:1-15 Have you ever faced an impossible situation that chased you down with the ferocity of a lion? Do you remember how, no matter where you turned, this trouble pursued you, threatening to destroy your faith?

I’ve learned that impossibilities can either drive us to God or they can devour us, leaving the carcass for the scavengers of depression and loneliness and inferiority to pick apart.

But no problem can come in for the kill unless we allow it to. Our hope dies because we focus on the impossibility itself, letting it sink its teeth into the jugular vein of our faith. I’ve also learned that the more obsessed we become with an impossibility, the more it squeezes the life out of us.

There is an alternative: Go to God. He is the God of the impossible. If you have any doubt, just look at what He did with five loaves and two fish to feed over five thousand hungry people.
