The Impossible with Nothing

Amazing day! This speaks of my heart much better than I could. I pray it blesses you. I have been praying Lord use me so I can be one beggar leading another beggar to Bread. He is because He delights in doing the impossible with nothing. So hope this blesses you.


HIS PRICELESS TREASURES
by David Wilkerson

God has determined to accomplish His goals here on earth through men with
weaknesses.

Isaiah, the great prayer warrior, was a man just like the rest of us. David,
the man after God's own heart, was a murdering adulterer who had no moral right
to any of God's blessings. Peter denied the very Lord God of heaven—cursing
the One who loved him most. Abraham, the father of nations, lived a lie—using
his wife as a pawn to save his own skin. Jacob was a conniver. Adam and Eve
turned a perfect marriage arrangement into a nightmare. Solomon, the wisest man
on earth, did some of the most stupid things ever recorded in history. Joseph
taunted his brothers in almost boyish glee—until the games almost backfired
on him. Jonah despised the mercy of God toward a repentant people and wanted to
see an entire city burn to justify his prophecies against it. Lot offered his
two virgin daughters to a mob of sex–crazed Sodomites.

The list goes on and on—men who loved God, men who were greatly used by God,
almost driven to the ground by their weaknesses. Yet, God was always there
saying, "I called you; I will be with you. I will accomplish My
will—regardless!"

One of the most encouraging Scriptures in the Bible is 2 Corinthians 4:7: "But
we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may
be of God, and not of us." Then Paul goes on to describe those earthen
vessels—dying men, troubled on every side, perplexed, persecuted, cast down.
And even though never forsaken or in despair, those men used by God are
constantly groaning under the burden of their bodies, waiting anxiously to be
clothed with new ones.

God mocks man's power. He laughs at our egotistical efforts at being good. He
never uses the high and mighty but, instead, uses the weak things of this world
to confound the wise.

"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish
things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things
of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the
world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which
are not . . . that no flesh should glory in his presence" (1 Corinthians
1:26–29).

God puts His priceless treasures in earthen vessels because He delights in
doing the impossible with nothing.
