Hard Cases - it’s easy sometimes to get caught up in the impossibilities of a situation. It can seem like there is no hope for change. But it is then one must remember that God specializes in hard cases. Remember that nothing is impossible with God

An elderly couple was talking one day about their grandchildren. 

The grandchildren were struggling with marriage, child-rearing, budgeting, and a host of other things. 

The tone turned a bit negative, so the grandmother reminded the grandfather that God could make a difference. 

Grandfather replied, “I know He can. I’m just looking at what He’s got to work with.”

Some folks are hard cases.

Saul, in his pre-apostle days, was a hard case. 

He was actually “breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples” (Acts 9:1) when things changed. 

As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him (Acts 9:3).

Saul met Jesus in a miraculous fashion. He heard the voice of the Lord and forever changed his ways.

It’s easy sometimes to get caught up in the impossibilities of a situation. 

It can seem like there is no hope for change. But it is then one must remember that God specializes in hard cases. 

Challenge for Today: Remember that nothing is impossible with God (Mark 10:27).

Quicklook: Acts 9:1–9
