God of the Unbelievable

What is something that could happen in the world right now that you wouldn't believe it if I told you? 

Ask that question, and your mind might go to any of a number of negative things. That's the way the world has wired us, I guess - to expect the worst of things. Maybe you're thinking about world wars or atomic bombs or rapists or murderers or all kinds of things that make headlines. 

But I'm talking about the good things. I'm talking about the cool things. I'm talking about the things that don't seem possible, not that seems unthinkable. 

I'm talking what it must have felt like to be around when the first ships crossed the ocean, when the first spacecraft came back from orbit. When we finally get the flying cars that the Jetsons promised us. 

...when cancer finds a cure. When addiction is broken. When families are restored.

I'm talking about that moment when you put glasses on a baby and their face lights up because they finally see what their momma looks like. 

I'm talking about the unbelievable. 

What is the miracle you're waiting on? What doesn't seem possible right now? 

Got it? Okay, good. 

What if I told you that God was already working on it? 

Maybe not that specific thing. We don't get to know His timelines. We don't get to understand His ways. 

But I am telling you that right now, God is working on something you wouldn't believe if I told you. You wouldn't believe it if He told you. Like Sarai, you might even laugh a little. 

The Bible is full of these stories, sure, but these aren't Bible times. Friend, these are still God's times, and He's still the same God that wrote every one of those stories. He's the God that's writing yours. 

Habakkuk tells us that God is doing things in our lifetime that we won't believe (1:5), and it's true. If you live with your eyes of faith open, you'll see all kinds of things that are beyond our wildest imagination, the hopes we've had, the miracles we've been praying for, and they are happening. 

Have you seen any of them? Maybe you've lived one or two. 

God is doing it. The same way He came to Sarai and made a nonagenarian pregnant, the same way He came to a virgin and implanted in her the Savior of the world...God is pregnant with the unbelievable, and He's giving new life every day into a world that least suspects it. 

So what are you least suspecting? Is it possible He's already working on it?
