 Day 3: God Sometimes Overrule Natural Laws

According to the America College of Obstetrician and Gynecologist, “A woman’s peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30 years, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline becomes more rapid once you reach your mid-30s. By age 45 years, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely for most women.” But you see, in the case of Sarah, facts are not always the truth when God is at work.

It defies any medical logic or reasoning, how at the age of ninety Sarah bears a nine months pregnancy. It's a complete contrast to any medical possibility. However, we serve a God who is not limited by what limits us. He is not constrained by what constrains us. He’s not bound by human set rules or principles. He operates in transcendence. 

1 Corinthians 1:27 says,  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 

There will be times when logic, reasoning, intellectualism, and rational thinking will fail, moments when natural laws are suspended for God’s supernatural act - Peter walking on water defy Archimedes law of floatation, Jesus feeding more than five thousand crowds with 5 loaves and 2 fishes defy any Economics principles, Jonah staying alive in the belly of a fish contradicts any rule of survival. Don’t put God in a box. Common sense cannot explain His ways. To experience the Supernatural, be flexible and receptive to the move of God. 

Don’t write off your dream yet. You can still write that book. 

You can still have that child. 

You can still get that promotion. 

You can still buy that house.

You can still buy that car. 

You can still get married. 

You can still be healed.

You can still start that business.

You can still get that Degree.

No matter what that dream is, don't write it off. Keep hope alive. Remember what Luke 1:37 says, "For with God nothing will be impossible.” You may not see the resources you need yet, but God won’t put a dream in your heart if He wouldn’t provide for it. 

Whose injunction have you believed? Whose verdict have you accepted as the ultimate? No one has a final say about your life, career, situation, marriage, finance, and destiny except God. Don’t settle for good enough. Don’t get comfortable with just getting by.
