Snippet: Redefining What is Possible

Snip·pet | ˈsnipit | noun a small piece or brief extract.

Here’s one by Izwe Nkosi in today’s Lectio 365:

“Is there something that God has asked me to do that I've put off because it wouldn't be seen as sensible? Perhaps I'm waiting until I have more time, or more money, or more courage, before I take the leap and obey? If so, I remind myself that Jesus' resurrection redefines what is important and his victory over death redefines what is possible.”

It’s very easy to be inspired by what he says here yet think, “This isn’t for me. I’ve not heard from God. I have no grand calling.”

Think instead of the ordinary callings to serve and pray for others, to take that opportunity to share your faith story, or to do your work well (even if you’re not loving your job or the subject of study).

Christ’s resurrection defines these as important.

Christ’s resurrection makes possible what we’ve failed to do in the past.

Christ's resurrection means he’s with us and empowering us to do the ordinary things we struggle to accomplish.

Live in Christ today.
