A Few Scriptures To Remember In Troubled Times

The “Possible” Dream

Dennis Huebshman

Matthew 19:26; “But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible’.” (emphasis mine)

Philippians 4:13; “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”

Isaiah 41:10; “Fear Not, for I am with you – be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you; I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.”

All this is interesting, and without any other options, they are notable quests. However, for all who have received and accepted the gift of Salvation, paid for in full by our Savior, we “dream the possible – better yet, “Probable Dream”. The only part about our dream is we’re not with Him yet. That will change in the very near future, and after that we won’t have all the “un’s” listed in the song.

Anyone who claims Jesus as their Savior will have issues while on this earth, and in our present human forms. John 16:33 is an absolute declaration from our Savior, which is a message to give us eternal hope. “I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. 

In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world.” Paul understood this very well, and was actually looking forward to leaving this earth behind. Philippians 1:21; “For me to live is Christ; and to die is gain.”

God did not just have His Holy Word written to give us entertainment or false hope. In 2 Peter 1:19-21; “And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed to which you will do well to pay attention, as to a lamp shining in a dark place until the day dawns, and the morning star rises in your hearts; (20) knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture comes from someone’s own interpretations. (21) For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man; but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13 have the same message; “All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” This has nothing to do with “dreams”; this is an absolute promise from our Heavenly Father.

We must remember this life on earth is less than a blink of the eye compared to eternity. Who we choose to follow here will determine if we spend forever in paradise, or in torment.
