righteousness, neither holiness nor patience. But I thank and praise You because I have not, and I will not. Hereafter, O God, I commit my all to You. From now on, it is Your Son who overcomes for me.”

In this manner, you will instantly obtain victory.

Impossible with Man but Possible with God

In Luke 18, we saw the impossibility of something being done in a young man. In Luke 19, however, we see that in Zacchaeus it was made possible: “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore

fourfold” (v.8). He was able to do all this at once. What was impossible with the young man was made possible in Zacchaeus.

Hence Luke 18 shows us that with men it is impossible; whereas

Luke 19 shows us that with God all things are possible. In Luke 18

the young man was unable but in Luke 19 the old man was able. In

Luke 18 the Lord spoke to the young man who could not hear. In

Luke 19 the Lord said nothing, yet the old man believed. It was impossible with the young man because he did not believe that God is able. Salvation came to the house of the old man for he had faith and was therefore a son of Abraham indeed. All was done by God.

The Life that Wins

Let us thank and praise the Lord. To love, I cannot do; to be patient, I cannot be; to be humble, I cannot be; to be gentle, I cannot be. Yet where does God say in His word that you must do what you can do and must live as you have lived? On the contrary, He commands us to do what we cannot do and live as we have never lived before. Every morning I thank and praise God, because today He will do miracles. Every evening I thank and praise God for He has done miracles. Today He enables me to endure what I cannot endure; today He causes me to love what I cannot love. Today He makes me do what I cannot do and live in a manner in which I cannot live. Thank and praise Him, daily it is impossible with men, but daily it is possible with God!
