Orville and
Wilbur Wrights were brothers who decided to build the world’s first successful
airplane. Immediately this intention was made known, they became object of
media ridicule and cartoon. Professors of aeronautics saw them as jokers.
Students of aeronautics saw them as clowns because these were guys that were
school drop outs.
In 1906,
European Newspapers especially in France called them bluffeurs (bluffers)
according to Wikipedia. One man even said “The Wrights have flown or have they
not flown. They possess a machine or they do not possess one. They are in fact
either fliers or liars. It is difficult to fly. It is easy to say, ‘We have
flown’.” In 1908, after the Wrights’ first flights in France, the same man that
said they couldn’t fly a plane admitted he had done them an injustice. It might
be difficult, but it is not impossible.
In the book
of 2Kings7, a prophet issued a decree that “Tomorrow about this time shall a
measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a
shekel, in the gate of Samaria.” The then Minister of Finance of Samaria,
looked at the man of God and said “Behold, if the LORD would make windows in
heaven, might this thing be?” In order words, he was saying that it was
impossible. You and I know how the man ended his life, he saw it happened but
never benefited.
Someone said
when you think at that moment that it is possible – then the magic starts.
There is no mountain too high for you to climb. There is nothing called
impossible. Mark 9:23 says “all things are possible to him that believeth.” The
first thing is to believe impossibility is nothing. With man, it might be
impossible but with God, ALL things are possible.
My prayer is
that everything that looks impossible for you before now, from today, Jesus the
way, will make a way for you where there seems to be no way in Jesus Name.
Amen!
