Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!" And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved? But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
Mark 10:23-27
Wealth isn't the prerequisite to entering heaven. And yet, the disciples seemed surprised by Jesus' words here. You see, no matter how much you do or how much you have, nothing can compare to simply trusting in Jesus Christ and putting your faith in Him. Children and adults can do this equally. Poor people can do this just as easy (if not easier) as the wealthy can. It's a matter of faith, not your pocketbook or your personal standing. With God--not yourself--all things are possible.
And some of you may be facing impossible situations today. So grab a hold of this promise: God can do and does the impossible. There isn't anything that God doesn't want to do to bring you closer to Him. So, if you have some impossibilities that you are facing in your life, ask God for His supernatural help. God doesn't want you to give up. He is going to take you through it. He wants to give you the opportunity to see that He is still doing miracles, just like He did in Moses' time or in the book of Acts. So many Christians know their Bible but they don't know the power of God's Word. You have to trust the Holy Spirit and watch Him open doors that no man can open, and watch Him close doors that no man can close. You'll be amazed at what God can do. What seems impossible to us is so very possible for Him.
