We all are faced with the “What If” question at some point in our lives. “What If” has destroyed relationship, split religious groups, made conquers go where none have ever gone before, and hung politician out to dry.
I personal try not to play the “What If” game. Many have tried to goat me into an argument, and the Lord knows I love to debate, of the “What If” game. I have never seen the value because it is too easy to twist and change the out come of “What If.”
The other day as I was listening to the Gospel of Mark chapter 9 I heard this:
19-20Jesus said, “What a generation! No sense of God! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this? Bring the boy here.” They brought him. When the demon saw Jesus, it threw the boy into a seizure, causing him to writhe on the ground and foam at the mouth.
21-22He asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been going on?”
“Ever since he was a little boy. Many times it pitches him into fire or the river to do away with him. If you can do anything, do it. Have a heart and help us!”
23Jesus said, “If? There are no ‘ifs’ among believers. Anything can happen.”
Wow, did you catch what Jesus said. Let me say it again so there is no confusion about what I am pointing out. “There are no ‘if’s‘ among believers.”
When I heard that verse of scripture it rocked my world. What a bold statement. If you believe in Jesus and are a follower, then the word “IF” should not belong in our vocabulary.
Can you imagine your life with no “IF’s” in it?
Take just a moment and walk through your day and take all the thoughts or words that you used “if” in, and change it with a word like: when, I will, We can, etc…
What would your world look like and become? You would be embolden with the confidence and assurance of knowing what you will accomplish. In fact I will leave you with the last statement Jesus said, “Anything can happen.“
What anything do you want to happen?
