Your life is a Mission Impossible movie
If you’re going through it right now, I want you to listen.
Steve Backlund says, “There are no hopeless circumstances, just hopeless people.”
I agree 100%.
We all go through seasons of life where we face “impossible situations.”
It can be crushing.
I know it has been for me.
Trying for years to escape the lack… desiring freedom while staring at maxed-out credit cards and no new clients coming in.
But those are the moments when true faith is revealed.
Not when everything’s going right.
It’s easy to say you have faith when clients are rolling in.
But when things are dry…
Crickets.
That’s when your faith gets refined.
That’s why the Word says in James:
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
I’ll admit—
It’s not painless.
I dislike the discomfort of being in lack.
I don’t like being in a position where I’m facing dire circumstances.
But here’s a reframe:
A good movie wouldn’t be good without tension. Without risk. Without impossibility.
That’s why I love Mission Impossible so much.
There’s always a wild, impossible mission.
And somehow, good ol’ Ethan Hunt finds a way.
Problems… trials… challenges…
All opportunities to operate in faith and trust.
Do we really believe God is good and wants to prosper us?
Or do we fall for the age-old deception…
“Did God really say that?”
The enemy’s first tactic—
To get us to question the goodness of God.
That’s why it’s so key to stay in the Word.
It’s called the good fight of faith for a reason.
Because there will be many opportunities in life to let go of it.
“How can God promise my needs will be met, and yet here I am—sitting in hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt?”
The reality is:
You’re in the middle of your story—
Not the end.
What if we looked at our trials with a sense of anticipation?
“Wow. I wonder how God’s going to come through this time?”
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” isn’t just a nice little verse.
It was Paul’s reality.
And he said it in the context of both abundance and lack.
He knew how to navigate both—and still have joy.
Because he was anchored in Christ’s words:
“Look at the birds of the air… they neither sow nor reap, yet your Heavenly Father provides for them.”
So whatever you’re going through—
Reframe it.
See yourself in a Mission Impossible movie.
Realize that God is the God of impossible situations.
Nothing is impossible with Him.
He desires that you prosper even more than you do.
Keep moving forward.
