With God, All Things are Possible

Daily R.E.A.P. Report for Mark 10:27 (ESV)
With God, All Things Are Possible

Read

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” Mark 10:27 (ESV)

The Gospel of Mark, written by John Mark, presents Jesus as the servant-king who brings God’s kingdom through miraculous works, humble service, and ultimate sacrifice. In chapter 10, Jesus is speaking to His disciples after a wealthy young man walks away saddened, unable to surrender his possessions. The disciples are astonished at Jesus’ teaching about the difficulty of entering God’s kingdom. Jesus reassures them that human limitations do not restrict God’s power—He alone can do what seems impossible. This message is aimed at real people facing real challenges and doubts: God’s love and power open doors where none appear.

Examine

Mark 10:27 declares that while our efforts, wisdom, or resources may fall short, nothing is beyond God’s ability. Human limitations do not confine the goodness or capability of the Lord. He delights in working where hope is scarce, reminding us our trust should rest in Him, not ourselves.

Connection to Jesus: Jesus perfectly embodied this principle. Where others saw dead-ends—healing the sick, feeding multitudes, and ultimately conquering death—He brought divine possibility. Jesus invites us to look to Him as the Source of hope and provision, echoing His Father’s limitless power and love.

Main Themes:
- God’s Omnipotence: God reigns over every circumstance, no matter how insurmountable it appears.
- Faith Over Self-Sufficiency: The invitation is to trust God’s power rather than our own abilities.
- Hope in the Impossible: When life overwhelms, God’s promises remain sure—He can do far more than we can imagine.

Key Word Study:
- Impossible (Greek: adynatos): Literally “without power” or “incapable.” - What is impossible for people is not a limitation for God.
- Possible (Greek: dynatos): Having power, ability, or might—God’s very nature is to be able, capable, and strong.

Apply

Reflective Questions:
- Where am I facing a situation right now that feels impossible in my strength?
- How have I limited God in my thinking or expectations through doubt?
- What would trusting God “for the impossible” look like in my relationships, work, or personal growth?

Christ-Centered Practical Steps:

- Surrender the Impossible: Identify one “impossible” situation in your life and deliberately hand it over to God in prayer. Write it down, offer it to Him, and release your need to control the outcome.
- Trust Actively: Take one tangible step forward, however small, in faith—whether starting a conversation, mending a relationship, or pursuing a God-given dream. Trust that God is able to work beyond what you can see.
- Share Your Story: Encourage someone else by sharing this truth—perhaps a friend overwhelmed by circumstances. Your testimony of God’s power can spark hope in another.

Real-Life Example: Imagine a person struggling with addiction who has tried everything to break free and feels hopeless. By giving their struggle to God, joining a supportive community, and trusting in His strength day by day, they discover new freedom—something that seemed impossible in their own power becomes a testimony to God’s ability.

Pray

Dear Father God, You are the God of the possible, the mountain-mover, the One in whom all hope is found. I praise You for Your limitless power and unending love. Forgive me for when I’ve let doubt or fear define my expectations and held back from trusting You completely. Today, I surrender my impossible situations to You. Give me fresh faith, courage, and clarity to trust and act where You lead. Empower me by Your Spirit to believe that with You, nothing is out of reach. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Closing Reflection: Imagine your heart as a field, wide and open before God. Where others see only barren ground, God sees the seeds of miracles, ready to burst forth. As you carry this day forward, watch for the ways His power breaks through, turning hard soil into flowers of hope.

Call to Action: Today, take one daring step where you’ve felt stuck—pray boldly, reach out for help, or encourage someone facing their own “impossible.” Remember, as you walk with God, you are never alone, and nothing is beyond His loving, powerful reach. Keep believing—your story is being written by the One who makes all things possible!
