FULL SPEED AHEAD - prayer, quiet time, personal bible study

GOD will sustain me is what i'm staying to myself right now. My soul can not rest until i put in writing what is piercing through my heart at the moment. I have been meditating on a few passages this morning.

Luke 18:26-27

26 Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?"

27 Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

Study notes from Dr. Constable - Soniclight.com

The Jews viewed wealth as a sign of God's blessing since God had blessed many of the
most godly in the past with riches (e.g., Abraham, Job, Joseph, David, et al.). The
idea that riches really could hinder a person entering the kingdom rather than paving the way for his acceptance shocked them. Apparently Jesus meant that no one, even the rich, could enter the Kingdom Entrance is impossible from the human viewpoint, but
God can produce repentance and faith the heart of anyone, even the rich (cf. 1:37; Gen 18:14).
