Ash Wednesday, Lent Begins Day 171...(1 Samuel 7,8 Proverbs 19; Luke 1)..."Nothing is Impossible to God"

As we read into Lent, perhaps several are thinking about new commitments. In pondering new disciplines, sacrifice, and obedience to God...we also can rely on the power of God. How reassuring are the words from Luke's Gospel?

"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God."

What a profound and inspiring thought to begin new disciplines for Lent!
